Mary Hodges was baptised on 30th May 1830 at Curry Rivel in Somerset, daughter of Sarah Hodges, formerly Forsey, and her husband William Hodges, a shepherd. The family lived at Burton Pynsent, a hamlet which at that time straddled the parishes of Curry Rivel and Drayton. Although Mary was baptised at Curry Rivel the family actually lived in the Drayton part of Burton Pynsent. In 1834, when Mary was just four years old, her father William died.

The 1841 and 1851 censuses find Mary living with her mother and siblings at Burton Pynsent. In 1851 she was working as a glover. She has yet to be researched after 1851.

    Mary was baptised the same day as her brother Charles, but they were not twins; the censuses make clear that she was a couple of years younger than him.
