13. George HODDER, II [50899] (William³, Eli², William¹) was born in 1823 in Alverstoke Hampshire England and died on 01 May 1861 in Carcoar Colony of New South Wales at age 38.

General Notes: George emmigrated to Australia on the ship Hindostan in 1856 In the book 'Cowra on The Lachlan' it states that Tenders were called for the erection of a brick watch-house at Cowra in 1859. Brick maker George Hodder moved his family from Bathurst to a slab walled cottage in Middlemiss paddock (now Taralga) when he secured the contract for the supply of bricks for the Lockup which also served as a courthouse. He died the year after he completed the task and was supposedly the first person buried in the Carcoar cemetary. He produced sandstone and slop bricks entirely by hand. Inside the impressions the bricks were decorated with clubs, spades and hearts on the distictive diamonds used by Hodder.

14. Mary Ann HODDER [50901] (William³, Eli², William¹) was born in 1830 and died on 16 Sep 1923 at age 93.

General Notes: Mary Ann spent her early married life in England after marrying in Somerset and having a son, Albert. These three came to New Zealand in 1873, probably as a result of glowing reports from Walter and Joseph about the opportunities in New Zealand. They settled in Featherston, moving to Greytown to a farm, and sometime later to a boarding house or hotel at Foxton. They had two more children after they came to New Zealand, David born 1878 and Jennett born in 1877. Their first son Albert never married. We know nothing else about him except that he died in 1913, and is buried in the Greytown Cemetery
