Some family info...
It would appear from "A Dictionary of British Surnames" by R.H Reaney, that our surname was spelt in a number of different ways over the years, such as Hodgson, Hodshon, Hodgens, Hodgen, Hodgins and Hodson. The writer mentions a Richard Hodson of 1582. Richard is a Christian name recurring in our own branch.

It is also said that our surname was Norse in origin, we are descended from Mr Ods, hense "son of Ods".

It has further been said that our surname originated from the nature of employment of one of our early ancestors at the time when surnames were first introduced. If this is so, then he must have been a labourer in the building trade, for "Hod" is defined in the dictionary as a "kind of wooden tray, with a handle, borne o?-the shoulder, for carrying morter, bricks ete".

It is also a utensil for carrying coal, a coal scuttle.

Thus further enquiry is necessary to settle the origin of our surname.

Place of Oriin: By family traditiou we are descended from Dr. John Hodson, Bishop of Elphin, County of Roscommon.
