Thomas Hodges ~1795 -1887
toll collector
Ancestry tree exists- but suspect!!
1775-1795. Seemingly no marriage on Ancestry of James Hodges to a Sarah
a James Hodges marries Sarah Trigg on 17/4/1788 in Woolhope, Herefordshire: this 14 k W of Ledbury - this possible
In Stroud, Glocs a James Hodges marries Sarah Bennet, but Stroud some 40k S of Ledbury
1795. Thomas Hodges was born Ledbury. he was baptised Ledbury to James Hodges & Sarah Trigg ? on 1/11/1795 -Ancestry
There is another Ledbury baptism in December 1797 to Benjamin Hodges & Lucy, but I feel the 1795 one is far more probable!
