Wallace Albert was born to Charles and Florence Hodge on 6 Apr 1907 in Plympton, Devon. His death registration gives his date of birth and his birth registration the area in which he was born. He had a twin brother Horace James.^{12 13}

Wallace was recorded in the 1911 Census taken on 2 Apr 1911 for Plymouth, Devon as living with his parents Charles and Florence Hodge at 33 Ebrington Street. The household consisted of Charles, his wife Florence and their children Cecil (age 13), Geraldine (age 11), Gladys (age 8), Frank (age 6), and Horace and Wallace who were twins both aged 3. The house had nine rooms which seems very substantial for a tobacconist's clerk (as Charles was at the time). However, looking at modern pictures of Ebrington Street it seems that single story shops were situated in front of a row of substantial houses. It is therefore possible that the house 'went with the job'.¹⁴

Wallace was recorded in the 1921 Census taken on 19 Jun 1921 for Plymouth as living with his parents Charles and Florence Hodge at 1a Endsleigh Place. The household consisted of Charles, his wife Florence and 5 of their surviving children - Cecil (age 23), Winifred (age 18), Frank (age 16), and the twins Horace and Wallace (age 14) living in 5 rooms. They shared the house with two other families - one of two (although the wife was away at the time of the Census) and the other of three who lived in a single room.¹⁵

Frm 1930 to 1965 Wallace was an a wholesale confectioner in Plymouth.¹⁶

Charles Reginald Hingston Hodge [737] and Wallace Albert Hodge [567] were executors for estate of Florence Mary Jane Cook [736]. Charles and Wallace were two of her sons.

Their daughter was born there in December 1933 and it is believed that they moved there after they were married lived there until business problems forced them to move to cheaper accommodation. It was an elegant double fronted Victorian terrace house.^{19 20}

Wallace married Dorothy Annetta Dominy on 8 Sep 1933 in The Register Office, Plymouth, Devon. The bestman was W Cooper The ceremony was performed by S H E Simpson Registrar and Frank H Murray Deputy Superintendent Registrar and the witnesses were Stanley Dominy [732], W Cooper and Frank Stanley Hodge [734]. Stanley Dominy was the bride's father, W. Cooper who was probably the Best Man as well as a witness and Frank Hodge was the groom's brother. The groom's parents were dead but some of his surviving siblings may have been there. As the bride's father was a witness he was certainly there together with is wife Lavinia. Whether there were any other guests is not known. Dorothy was 5 months pregnant when she married Wallace so it may have been a marriage of convenience. However, it is known that Dorothy was being courted by both Wallace and his twin brother Horace who was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1931 and obviously the courtship with Wallace continued after Horace's death.^{21 22 23 24} He reported his daughter Joan's birth to the Registrar R. C. Davy on 1 Jan 1934 at the Register Office for the district of for Plymouth South West.²⁵ Frm 1937 to 1986 Wallace and Dorothy Hodge lived in Plymouth at 16 ErmingtonTerrace, Mutley. They had a small flat on the top floor of a three story house with a living room, a double bedroom, a single bedroom which was used by their daughter Joan until she left home in 1957, and a kitchenette on the landing. Dorothy's parents lived on the floor below until their deaths after which two of their friends John Bonney who was an electrical fitter in the dockyard and his sister Peggy who was a sister in Greenbank Hospital moved in.

Initially they rented their flat from the owner Mrs Motley who lived on the ground floor with her unmarried daughter, but in the 1960s or 70s they bought the house from Miss Motley after her mother died. Miss Motley continued to live there until her death. After Dorothy's death in January 1987 Wallace continued to live there until his death in November 1987 when the house passed to their daughter Joan. She sold it with John and Peggy as sitting tenants.

At sometime in the 60s the house was renumbered to 20 Ermington Terrace.²⁶

The household of Wallace and Dorothy Hodge was recorded in the 1939 Register taken on 29 Sep 1939 in Plymouth living at 16 Ermington Terrace. The household consisted of Wallace, Dorothy and their daughter Joan. The entry for Joan has been redacted but it is known that she was a member of the household.²⁷

Wallace witnessed the marriage of Jack Peter William Ward [1] and Joan Elizabeth Hodge [3] on 24 Dec 1957 in The Parish Church of St Peter's Church Selsey, Sussex. The other witness was William Charles John Ward [10] and the service was taken by the the Rev. Handiside. It was attended by members of the immediate family and a few of Jack's colleagues. The best man was Jack's great friend, Tony Daw, and the two brides maids were Joan's Godmother's daughters. The reason for the wedding taking place in the goom's parish rather than the bride's parish was that the Joan did not wish her parents who were not well off to have to invite all her relatives who lived in the Plymouth area; she also preferred the intimacy of St Peter's Church to the rather barn-like Baptist Church on Mutley Plain which she had attended as a teenager and where she had been baptised into the Baptist Church. As Jack only had a small number of relatives living in Selsey this served to limit the guest list but it was necessary to obtain a licence for the marriage from the Diocese of Chichester. Joan made her own dress and her Godmother made the bridesmaids' dresses.

The bride's parents travelled from Plymouth by car a day or so before the wedding day and stayed in a holiday bungalow on East Beach a few doors from 'Greenwood' (149 East Beach Road) where the groom's parents lived. Joan who had travelled down from London to stay with the groom's parents and make the final arrangements for the wedding and reception joined her parents when they arrived. Joan's mother had a bad cold and being a holiday home the heating was inadequate to say the least. Jack who was on leave from the Navy and was staying with his parents carried kindling and buckets of coal along the road to light a fire in the only fireplace. Hot water was provided by an immersion heater but the electricity meter accepted only 1/- coins which rapidly ran out. On the morning of the wedding after the bride's mother had had a bath there was no hot water left and Joan had a cold bath!

The guests includes the groom's parents Will and Alice Ward and Will's sister Gertie who had a flat at 'Greenwood'; the bride's parents Wallace and Doris Hodge; the bride's godmother and her husband and their two daughters who were the bridesmaids; Lieutenant Tony Daw who was the best man, and some members of the groom's Ordnance Engineering Specialisation Course who were all Lieutenants and formed the Guard of Honour after the wedding. Althought there were either 6 or 7 Jack only remembers the names of Tony Wheatley and John Mahony neither of whom were married at the time. People who may have attended were Tony Daw's wife Dorna; the groom's Uncle Will and Aunt Lou; and the bride's friend Joan. Jack has no recollection of any of them being there. Joan's friend Pat Boyle was unable to attend because she had 'flu and had been ordered to bed by her doctor who forbade her to attend the wedding; she was bitterly disappointed. Pat's husband Don who was in the Royal Marines was away at sea and also could not attend.

As it was a Naval Wedding all the Naval Officers were in uniform. The Vicar has asked them to leave their swords at the back of the Church as 'they made a clatter' if they were dropped during the service. Jack has little recollection of the marrige service itself except Joan saying "Sing up!" in the first hymn, the fact that the front of the priest's surplice was creased and soiled (he was obviously saving his clean surplice for Christmas Day which was the following day), and being told to "Slow up" as he set off down the aisle with his new bride on his arm after the register had been signed.

The reception was held at the Selsey Hotel.

The honeymoon was spent at the Priory Hotel, Thame in Oxfordshire where the couple were given the 'Priest's Room' in the attic which contained two single beds of different heights! The other guests were relatively elderly and Jack and Joan were embarrassed to receive an L-plate through the post which was propped up on the mantelpiece in the sitting room for all to see. At least the food was good as they had chosen the venue from The Good Food Guide.^{28 29 30}

Wallace's wife Dorothy died on 31 Dec 1986 in Mutley, Plymouth, Devon at 20 Ermington Terrace.^{31 32}

14.

Henry was born in 1810 Marystow, Devon. As no baptismal record can be found for Henry it is not possible to determine the names of his parents and thus his ancestry. Also, the lack of a baptismal record together with the fact that he died before the 1851 Census means that it is not possible to be certain about the year or place of his birth. However, he was married in Marystow, all his children were born there and he was buried in the churchyard of Mariystow's parish church so it is fairly safe to assume that he was born there. His burial on 30 January 1837 gives his age as 26 which indicates that he was probably born in 1810.

Frm 1823 to 1836 Henry was a labourer probably in a tin mine in the Tavistock area. In the baptismal records for his three children he is described as a labourer. The register entry for the marriage of his son Henry to Fanny Knighton in 1861 gives his occupation as a miner. As this was 24 years after his death (his son was only 2 at the time) the information must have come from Henry junior's mother Maria. At the time of his death tin was being mined on Dartmoor in the vicinity of Tavistock which is about 8 miles south of Marystow so he may have been a labourer in a tin mine. He probably started work at the age of 12 and continued until his death.^{206 123 124 128}

16.

George Andrew was born in 1810 in Cornwall. The register entry for his burial which took place in April 1837 gives his age as 27 and as he was married in Cornwall he was probably born there. However, as record of his baptism cannot be found his ancestry cannot be traced.^{138 216}

George was an Accountant. The only source which gives his occupation is his daughter Fanny's Marriage Register entry. As he died in 1837 some 24 years before she was married the information must have come from her mother Mary Musselwhite who was still alive at the time of her marriage. Considering where they lived it is thought that he is more likely to have been a clerk than an 'Accountant'.¹²⁸

George married Mary Ann Pick on 28 Jul 1833 in Parish Church of St Mary and St Julian, Maker, Cornwall.. The information provided on the FamilySearch, Ancestry and FMP websites are register transcripts giving only the names of the couple, the date and the place of the marriage.²¹⁶

Mary Ann was born to and in 1812 in St Germans, Cornwall. Every census between 1851 and 1881 gave her birthplace as St Germans in Cornwall. In the 1841 census the column saying that she was born in Scotland, Ireland or Other Parts was ticked. However, this is almost certainly because the enumerator mistook St Germans for her being German. Using her age given in the 1851 to 1881 census her most likely birth year 1s 1812. This accords with the age given in her death registration. (The 1841 census was omitted because it only records ages to the nearest 5 years.) A search for her baptismal record which would have provided her parents names drew a blank. The nearest match was the baptism of a Mary Ann Pick in Rame on 5 May 1807. Rame is about 10 miles from St Gemans,^{219 220 145 221 222}

As there is no registration for the death of a Joseph Musselwhite in Plymouth between these dates Mussulwhite is considered to be either an error in entering his name on the death certificate or a transcription error by a clerk.^{231 220 145}

James Giles Newman was born to James and Nancy Dominy in Jan 1813 in Devonport, Devon. As children were normally baptised within a few weeks of birth it is assumed that James was born late December 1812 of early January 1813.^{168 232}
