[QUOTE="Bob Godfrey, post: 248639, member: 136612"] Gary, it's good to see some of the lesser known faces getting a small share of the immortality accorded to the rich and famous! For your file, here's a bit more info about Mr Hodgkinson in addition to the brief details in his ET biography. He was born in 1866 in Stoke (not liverpool, as stated in some sources). His parents were John and Caroline; John was a potter's presser. Leonard left school to become an apprentice engine fitter with the firm of Hartley, Armour and Fanning in Stoke. At that time he was living with his parents at 5, Knowl Street. At the time of his marriage in 1891 (I believe to Sarah Clarke) he was resident in Liverpool. The first phase of his career at sea involved work with the Beaver Line and Rankin, Gilmour & Co. This was the period when he achieved his First Class Engineer's Certificate and served as Chief on the Saint Jerome. By 1901, during a temporary break from seafaring, he was running his own business as a mechanical engineer but he was back at sea with the White Star Line in 1905. His last address in Southampton was 67, Arthur Road. Still a lot of gaps, but I hope that helps. Brian T, are you there? Any info from the Relief Fund? George, you may well be right about the invented name. I can find no trace of anybody so called of the right age in the right place at the right time. It's a good story though! Best regards, Bob [/QUOTE]
