I am looking for a William Hodgetts, born about 1769 possibly in Sedgley. He married Esther Hughes of Sedgley on the 4th February 1788. They had 9 children.

I cannot find his birth or his parents.

The William Hodgetts of Kingswinford, who I thought he was, could not be him, as he died at the age of 17 years.

If anyone has any ideas could they please inform me.

Regards

Gwen Keeling
