Firstly, re Annie G's very early posts
There's no entry like her Agnes Ellen in the GRO index image at FreeBMD, and also Preston doesn't have page #s in the 1000s that I can see - quite odd.

This looks to be her 1901 census family, although Eliz is missing.

As Annie said re the army records, there were two Williams knocking around, both born abt 1888, although there only seems to be a rego for Wm, (viz s/o Thomas + Sarah Ann Hodgkinson MS Bennett). We know he's Agnes Ellen's bro from the 1911 census. Here's Thos in 1881 (at same addy):

This seems to be the only Elizabeth Ann, but there's plenty of plain Elizabeth's.

Just logged in to see what's happening - sorry I am going shopping with my gaughter today!! Glad to see you are all still interested with my family tree. I will look at all your postings later and see what you have found. All I can confirm is that you have found my Agnes Ellen and William Hodgkinson. Their parents were Thomas Hodgkinson and Sarah a Bennett married in 1887. (I notice you have gone back even further and I promise to get back to you later in the day

Regards, Heather

There's only St Marys RC at http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SD5519 (plus non-church pics of course)
It doesn't look like there's more than a handful of RC Hodgkinson's:

Forgot you had to go to the door Annie. Read your posting and thought 'I found that yesterday'.

Been reading through all your postings and now know my Agnes Ellen belonged to Thomas Hodgkinson and Sarah Bennett (no connection with the Hodgkinson/Hall also found in Euxton). At 10.13 mgnv posted that Elizabeth died at age 21 and I can confirm this is true (as I said she died having her tonsils out). I note there is also a birth of a Florrie HODKINSON (Mothers maiden name BEnnett) but is this same family or just a typing error? If she is part of the family then no-one knew about her.

Will spend some time later looking at info. provided going back from Thomas Hodgkinson.
Thanks, Heather

A search of Chorley 1875-1911 gets:

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1887
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
HODGKINSON Thomas BENNETT Sarah Ann St Peter, Chorley Preston C11/1/426

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1903
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
HODKINSON George BENNETT Bertha St James, Chorley Preston C9/2/169

So probably Florrie belongs to the G-less HODKINSONs
