I would be grateful if someone could look up on 1871 census the following:

John Wm. Hodgson b. 1845 and wife Margaret Jane b. 1849 - both Sunderland. As relative newlyweds, I suspect they could be living with in-laws - probably Bishopwearmouth or Sunderland district.

Also, Benjamin Pike b.abt 1857 Gorleston/Yarmouth area. Hoping he is living at home with parents/siblings whose details I would like.

Thank you.

Hi Vera - sorry I've been away so long. Had to take a break - head spinning. Thank you for the 1861 info. It looked promising and noticing that Matilda was a widow at the early age of 31 I went onto freebmd and just inputted Death - Pike - 1859 - 1861 and up came Benjamin Ward Pike died Yarmouth 1861. This was the only death of a Pike in Yarmouth so it has to be Matilda's husband - in other words I now know that my Benjamin Pike's parents were Benjamin Ward Pike and Matilda ?. However, like you I decided to trace them on 1871 census but to no avail. How do they manage to disappear. Never mind, something was achieved.

Hi Margaret,
I know how you feel....head spinning...thats what family treeing does to you....when you can't find something...happens to all of us sometimes.

I wonder if Matilda remarried... have looked found this one...but can't seem to find them on the 1871.
