This may be a long shot but my g-g-grandfather, William Hodgen was born in Antrim C1831.His father as listed on his marriage certificate was Thomas.William married Elizabeth (Eliza) Nelson in 1853 in Manchester, England.
Eliza was born in Armagh C1831. William & Eliza emigrated of Australia C1862.We believe 2 Hodgen brothers settled in Australia and others continued on to New Zealand.
We have hit a brick wall with William and Eliza but given the similarity in birthplaces my Hodgens and yours may be related.
