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'.¹⁰

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, Winifred, Frank, Horace and Wallace.¹¹

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.^17,18,19,20 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.²¹ Btw 1937 and Jan 1987 Wallace lived in 16 ErmingtonTerrace, Mutley, Plymouth, Devon.

Wallace witnessed the marriage of Jack Peter William Ward and Joan Elizabeth Hodge on 24 Dec 1957 in The Parish Church of St Peter's Church Selsey, Sussex. 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 groom'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 which was 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 the heating in the bungalow they were renting was inadequate to say the least. Jack who was on leave from the Navy 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.^23,24,25

Although Mary and her family are all related to Benjamin they are shown as visitors. Benjamin is shown as a beer retailer working on his own account from the property. Does that mean it was a pub? His son William is shown as a French polisher also working on his own account from the property.

Henry died on 18 Jan 1910 at his home Kinburn Cottage, Flushing, Cornwall. The Probate Calender entry gives the date and place of his death.¹⁴⁴ Administration on the estate of Henry James McNally of Laira Hotel, Prince Rock, Plymouth was granted to Mary Jane McNally on 5 Feb 1910 at the Exeter Probate Registry. Mary was Henry's wife and the granting of administration indicates that he did not have a will. The estate was worth £449 12s. 4d. and Mary was probably the sole beneficiary.¹⁴⁴

Mary Jane was born to Bejamin and Mary Rowell in Jun 1855 in Callington, Cornwall. As children were normally baptised within a few weeks of their birth it is assumed that she was born in late June or early July. This is conformed by her birth registration in the third quarter of 1955.^145,146

Mary Jane Rowell,¹⁴² daughter of Bejamin Symons Rowell and Mary Wickett, was baptised on 29 Jul 1855 in St Sampson's Church, South Hill, Cornwall. The service was conducted by the Rev. the Rev. H. M.

The household consisted of Benjamin, his wife Mary and their three children Mary (age 5), Benjamin (age 3) and Richard (age 1). Benjamin is working as a tailor and inn keeper and they are obviously doing well enough to have a general servant Sarah Wickett, although she is only 16 and probably paid very little. They also had a lodger who is working as a copper miner but isn't named.¹⁴⁷

Mary was recorded in the 1871 Census taken on 2 Apr 1871 for East Stonehouse as living with her parents Bejamin and Mary Rowell at 4 Brownlow Street.

Benjamin is describes a Foreman of tailors so presumably he is working for someone else. All the children except the two youngest are attending school. The family are sharing the house with another family of three. The size of the house is unknown.¹⁴⁸

Henry and Mary McNally were present at the Baptism of their child Lavinia Dorothy by the Rev. the Rev. J. B. C. Murphy according to the Church of England rite on 31 Jul 1887 in the Garison Church, Aldershot, Hampshire.

Mary died in 1911 at her home Plymouth, Devon.¹⁴⁹ She and Henry James McNally had the following children:

14.

Henry was born in 1810 in 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.

Henry was a tin miner. The only record of his occupation is the register entry for the marriage of his son Henry to Fanny Knighton in 1861 which gives his occupation as a miner. As this was 24 years after his death the information must have come from his mother Maria. A 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 in all probability he was tin miner.¹¹¹

Henry married Maria Abbot on 31 Jul 1831 in St Mary the Virgin Church, Marystow, Devon. The service was taken by the Rev. Rev. Thos. Robyns, Vicar and the witnesses were Ann Veal and John Sawton.

The witnesses were Mary Anne Hodge and Charles George Knighton. Mary was the sister of the groom and Charles was the brother of the bride. Both the groom's father and the bride's father were dead.

Maria died in 1884 aged 73 in Plymouth.¹⁵⁴ She and Henry Hodge had the following children:

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.^115,161

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'.¹¹¹

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.¹⁶¹

Hare, Curate, Curate according to the Church of England rite on 1 Nov 1835 in Parish Church of Charles the Martyr, Plymouth, Devon.

His wife Mary was almost certainly present and she probably took their three children Charles who was nearly 4, Jesse 18 months and Fanny 4 months.¹¹⁵

17.

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,^{164,165,166,167,168}

The name recorded in the death index is Joseph Mussulwhite as opposed to Joseph Musselwhite. However is is known from census records that Joseph died sometime between the 1851 and 1861 censuses. 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.^165,166,177
