Could he have re-married a Frances after Ann. Seems too much of a coincidence for there to be two William Hodgkinsons in Euxton, but maybe not.

Don't think the records have been mixed up Annie G. On enlistment in 1915, his next of kin was his mother Elizabeth. When he married in 1917, the records were changed by crossing through the Elizabeth and changing it to Ann.

Oooh yes, looks like my William as I know he lived in Euxton which was a very small village at that time. Wigan Road would have been the main road so quite possibly this is he. Only thing is he definitely married a Francis and I don't think she came from Leyland, course I could be wrong, but I am 100% sure of her first name.

Not sure as I have so little info. on the family. I do know that William fought in WW1 so maybe 1902 is not him.

Thanks for quick reply. Guess Chorley would have come under Preston District. I have made a mistake though!!! It was her brother called William and it was he who married a lady called Francis. I do not know Agnes's parents at all so this info. may help

Regards, Heather

Agnes Ellen was born in 1894 in Lancashire and I think she had a sister who died young. Her brother was William (Billy) Hodgkinson and he married a Francis ?. I think Agnes may have been born in Euxton, Chorley. Any info. much appreciated
