John Gate HoggarthIsabel Hogarth Neeb, Wed Oct 28 4:45pm
Bryan,thanks. What a lot to digest! The photo of Cottage at Wreay is an original, not a postcard. It states ,'near Carlisle 1904'. It is in a decorated tin frame with the logo of Hudson, Scott and Sons Ltd., Carlisle on the front, which is explained on the back of the frame. My grandfather had this on his sidetable... more

Hackness Hog*sAnonymous, Mon Nov 9 4:29pm
I came across the Hogarth Family HQ whilst browsing on the net. My 5x great grandfather John Johnson married a Dorothy Hoggarth in Hackness on 21/05/1771. Dorothy I think was born in 1749 in Hackness. She died on 7th August 1826 in Hackness. Does anyone know anything about Dorothy's family please?

Agnes HOGARTH of Blackpool?Bryan Hoggarth, Sat Oct 31 2:03pm
Kathryn Aldrich put a query in the guestbook - which has no means to reply to: I've written on here before. I am not a Hogarth by name, but am a direct descendant of Agnes (Hogarth) Claflin's. I do not know much about my great-great-grandmother's side of the family, but I do know that she was born in Blackpool,... more

Isabel put the following note in the guestbook - which is no place to have a discussion as there is no way to reply: My grandfather, John Hogarth, came to Canada around 1904 and settled in Wellington County in Ontario. He was born approximately 1884, near Carlisle, England. We only know of one sibling, Mary, who came... more

Sgt Leslie HogarthDawn, Sun Oct 18 2:21pm
I would be pleased to hear from anyone who knew anything about a relative on my father's side of the family: Leslie Hogarth, I think, was the son of Maggie and Fred, and had a brother, Stanley. They had connections with the Boldon area, then moved to Murton, near Seaham Harbour. Leslie became a Sergeant in the Royal... more

John Young HOGGARTBryan Hoggarth, Sat Mar 21 10:17am
Lance put a note on the Guestbook asking for information. A individual reply to him could be made but why keep it private. The point of a web site is to share information. Lance said " Interested to find family link prior to my great grand father, John Young Hogarth died (74 yrs) 29 May 1924 (married Alice Redshaw... more

Hogarths of Hexham and GosforthPamela Crewe, Tue Aug 11 5:01pm
Its quite a few years since I've been in touch with anyone on this site and now I've met up with two cousins, we've renewed interest in our little branch, and keen, time permitting, to pursue as many connections as we can. Our joint grandmother was Ethel Hogarth, (1884) eldest daughter of John William (c1862) and... more

Hi can anyone help me please I am trying to find out if Frederick Hogarth married Alice Barker from Knottingly as their daughter was born 1929. I think this Frederick was my grandfather? This would make Betty Hogarth my mothers half sister? Thanks

An entry appears on page 4 of the Argus newspaper (Melbourne), under the heading Shipping Intelligence, in the edition published on Thursday, 26 May 1853 (see link below). The entry... more

Who is Bette Lee?Jay Morris, Mon Aug 24 2:10am
I have come accross this Hogarth HQ by accident and have a question. Is this the Bette Lee that attended Omaha South High? If it is, would you please wish her good health and much joy. I have many questions but this is not the proper form. At one time we were very good friends and I hope we still are. Jay Morris

George Hogarth BELL of HexhamBryan Hoggarth, Wed Jul 8 8:02pm
While up north in June I had a look around the church at Hexham and came across this plaque inside. Not common to find a familiar name so well placed rather than just on some gravestone. I have a memory of some visitor to this site who had relatives at Hexham and there was something about a will. This family certainly ... more

Hogarth nameJohn Hogarth, Sun Aug 9 8:18am
The Name Hogarth The name Hogarth and its many variations of spelling are in evidence over many years and I give details of my research. Like all research, the secret is knowing the right question. Mostly, finding the answer is easy. I can follow my own ancestry, in Poulton Le Fylde and district back to about 1700.... more

Hogarths and HarrisonsPeter Shaddick, Sat May 30 9:51am
The 1881 census shows my great Grand-father Francis G Hogarth, (littlebeck tree)with siblings and mother Ann in Stranton, but in the same household is George Harrison, shown age 19, born Whitby and relation nephew. There are no free daughters on the Jefferson side so I assume a Harrison married one of Ann's sisters in ... more
