  • Notes 
    • Sarah Hodges, according to the Bodeker family Bible kept for the children of Emma Hodges and Wilhelm Heinrich Michael Bodeker, died 22 July 1863 and was buried in Deptford Cemetery. She was 66 years of age at her death, placing her birth circa 1797. It is interesting to note that the original entry of the age appears to have been changed from 67 years to 66 years.

      On first page of Bible inscriptions appears:

      "Sarah Hills" [at the top of the page]
      "October 21, 1823" [immediately beneath the name Sarah Hills but written in a different hand]

      The records of the following cemeteries are held at Hither Green cemetery (Hither Green (formerly Lee) cemetery Verdant Lane, SE6 - 1873 to date (indexed from 1920)) and crematorium. The staff there will search the records for a fee. There is no public access.
