and

This confirms the marriage on Family Search and adds another.  But the earlier marriage has the groom’s parish as Den which does not tie in with the obvious Westminster parish of George’s occupation.

I am therefore increasingly drawn to the conclusion that my grandfather was fed duff gen with ‘Elizabeth Cushong’ as the wife of George Hodgson.

My grandfather also wrote down that George’s parents were Anthony Hodgson and Mary Mayer or Mair.

There is a birth on IGI in 1742 of a George, son of Anthony Hodgson, christened in Auckland St Helen, Co Durham.  And having found that, the above marriage to Elizabeth Errington begins to look much more likely:

Name George Hodgson
Gender Male
Birth Date 18 Jul 1742
Birthplace AUCKLAND SAINT HELEN,DURHAM,ENGLAND
Father's Name Anthony Hodgson
