£14.00 now around £3,000. I wonder how much an average weekly wage was then? Probably £14 was quite a sum too.
Think this is my Great great Grandfather Iam the great grandson of Joseph Hodkinson
My grandmother was Edith Martha Fillingham nee Hodkinson she was the sister of Joseph Hodkinson we have a large family I have the history to the late 1700s there is also a large branch in Australia I have quite a few photos of your greatgrandmother and her daughters and your greatgrandfathers
This was my great grandfather! My grandmother was Maggie Hodkinson who came out to Australia with her older sister Eliza Jane Barrett, Mary Hodkinson and possibly Alice and Minnie (Beatrice) Hodkinson. Maggie married Albert Hibbs.
Beatrice was my aunty. She did not go to Aus but lived in Bolton. I used to visit her as a child on the bus from Wigan. My mother was Arlene Alicia. There were 13 children in the family. Thos. Hodkinson married twice, the second wife being themother of Arlene. All other 12 had a different mum. Arlene was the baby. Born 1903 died 1980.
