Hilton Ross HOGARTHBryan Hoggarth, Sun May 5 10:44am
In the guestbook Sadie Messinger asked about the origins of her grandfather Hilton Ross HOGARTH. I've moved the query to here so that a "conversation" can be had. "My Grandpa, Hilton Ross Hogarth, never really told me much and my mother doesn't know a lot about the family either. I just had a son and want to be able... more

CRUDDAS & HOGARTHBryan Hoggarth for Tamara CRUDDAS, Sat Mar 8 10:15am
Tamara Cruddas wrote a request for information in the Guestbook - not the right place - it should be here so that people can answer online and thus we all share the information and we do not all end up having private little chats and not sharing information. "Comments: I'm trying to find out about my grandmother... more

George HoggarthSharen Hogarth, Sat Apr 13 4:49pm
Hoping that someone can help me find out who my husband's great grandfather George Hoggarth's parents were. His birth certificate notes that he was born 16 April 1867 in Reighton to a Jane Hoggarth of Reighton. No father listed. In the 1971 census, George, age 4, is listed as Hoggard & living with the David Gash... more

George Hoggarth - HunmanbySharen Hogarth, Fri Apr 5 12:32pm
Still trying to find the parents of George Hoggarth born 1867 in Reighton. I found a Canadian marriage certificate for George & his second wife on which he noted that his father was James Hoggarth & his mother was Jane Gash. I have been unable to find any James Hoggarth associated with a Jane Gash. No father was noted ... more

John Young HOGGARTBryan Hoggarth, Sat Mar 21 9:17am
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

Jane Forbes HogarthAlice Shannon, Thu Mar 7 5:38am
While researching my Hogarth connections, I came across a previously unknown sister of my great-grandfather, James Hadden Hogarth. James was the son of John Hogarth (11th child of George Hogarth and wife Jane Hogarth, nee Forbes, of Aberdeen), and who migrated to Australia in 1835. He met and married Charlotte... more

In the Guestbook on 1 Mar 2013 Peter COPLAND placed a message about his ancestors. No way to make any joined up response to that so I've repeated it here with some extra data from an email he sent to me on the same day. "Hi Robyn or Whom It May Concern, I saw on your page provided by Nicky Johnson, the marriage of... more

Long Dales, AinstableBryan Hoggarth, Mon Dec 26 2:14pm
I came across the article below and thought I'd find out whether the Mary HOGGARTH was any of my lot. Seems not to be from the North York moors area but from Longdales in Cumberland. May be related to Isabel Hogarth NEEB's lot; though there were such a lot of HOGGARTHs from that area as you will see. Northern Echo... more

In 2011 Paul Henney wrote saying that his William Hoggarth (b.1790), son of Thomas Hoggarth (1768-1819), married to Ann Steel was the brother of my great grandfather, John, born in 1797.

Apology for my senior moment, saying William was my mother`s father! Have been busy digesting all the info you have provided, especially about Richard Hoggarth. Thank you.
