Martha Hodgkinson 1780-1858
1780. Born Lancashire. St Michaels le Wyre to William Hodgkinson & Cicely Cooper: they married in St Michaels le Wyre in 1760
Thought she was related to Dorothy Hodgkinson, Lancs, ~1779-1850, who married , 1801,St Annes Liverpool, Richard Unsworth 1765-1826. This couple had son John Reece Unsworth 1803-1887. Thus Martha's daughter, Arabella M Castley, is related to the Unsworths, maybe a 1st cousin if Martha & Dorothy were indeed sisters
In St Michaels le Wyre - just 10 k E of Poulton, Martha Hodgkinson was baptised to William Hodgkinson on 6/2/1780 AND
