No I said that it's the wrong Charles.

In the 1911 census for Margaret (widowed) she has completed the married/children bit and then it is crossed out. Years completed for marriage are 3 which suggests that he died in 1902

Jude

Charles Jesse Hodgkinson who died in 1907 left his monies to Widow Clara Ellen Hodgkinson....... I don't think that is the right death for this Charles?? :-D

OK I think we can rule out the Tettenhall Charles as he had children late 80's early 90's with Ellen (from the 1887 marriage).

So now need to try and find Charles in 1901

Yeah I saw this one. If it is though it's not the same one as the death in 1907

looks like father Charles has died -

HODGKINSON, Margaret Ann Head Widow F 46 1865 Weaver Chorley Lancs
KIRFOOT, Annie Niece Single F 16 1895 Weaver Chorley Lancs

so Minnie and Charles were put into one place some time before the 1901 census, and Mary Alice was put into another home for orphans.


I wonder why???



what happened to father Charles and his new wife?

Is it a case of new wife not wanting any step children, or did Charles die??
