GeneralAt marriage: doctor.
MotherDr Margaret Leathes (1901-1989)
Notes for Prof Shirley Victoria Penrose
Her birth is known only by hearsay but she is said to have been born in Canada on 22 Feb 1945.  Supporting evidence is being actively sought - I’ve ordered their marriage certificate as that will give her and her husband’s fathers and ages.

Later: she was 26 at marriage on 3 April 1971 and her father was Lionel Penrose, a professor.  That makes her born in 1944/5.

There is only the one Penrose to Hodgson marriage in England and Wales from 1950 to 1990, and it is hers.

But these births, particularly the two in 1973, ask for further explanation:

Last name   First name(s)   Year Of Birth   Year Of Death   Year   Location
Hodgson     Paul            1973            —               1973   Grimsby, Lincolnshire
Hodgson     Julian Lionel   1973            —               1973   Islington, London
Hodgson     Anna Bryony     1974            —               1974   St. Pancras, London
