Hi Sally,

Yes, Servington is a great name! Thanks for your suggestions

I think I have pieced them altogether now with the help of ancestry & FMP & familysearch. It's good that Devon is fairly well documented. I'm in Australia and my great-great grandmother, Catherine Hodder was John Hodder's daughter and emigrated about 1863 after she married William Henry Ford (yet to find out about him).

Here's what I found:

SERVINGTON HODDER, Bap 25 Jul 1761, Ugborough
m Elizabeth Payne 25 Mar 1791, Ugborough
d Aug 1833, Rawcombe House, Ugborough

ELIZABETH PAYNE Bap 22 May 1769, Ugborough
d 27 Sep 1846, Ugborough

CHILDREN

John HODDER

d Sep 1850 Edmeston Farm, Modbury

Eliza HODDER

m William Widdicombe 25 Jun 1818 (It appears this was Ann's brother)

Sarah HODDER

d.Aug 1802, Ugborough

Mary HODDER

Servington HODDER (never married)
bap 12 Feb 1804, Ugborough

Jane HODDER (never married)

d 24 May 1887, Ugborough

William HODDER (never married)
bap 12 Oct 1808, Ugborough

It appears that Servington Hodder Snr was quite a wealthy man as he left £400 to each of children in his will, which also mentions property that he owned in Ugborough.
