Hodge
Probably a misinterpretation of handwriting, someone reading a manuscript capital T as J, (as the London NPG still does when cataloguing what must be his carte de visite image by Camille Silvy) but JDP Hodge seems in fact to have been Thomas Durell Powell Hodge, 1835-88, the son of a Sidmouth surgeon, who in 1866 changed his surname from Hodge to that of his mother, Ann Blake, of the Blake family of Belmont, Galway and Somerset, as the reports of the inquest on his death and his probate show.Delahays (talk) 10:46, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

 * This French report mentions a Thomas Hodge as one of the suspects. On the following page it says he was arrested at Genoa. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:22, 29 February 2020 (UTC)


 * The same conclusion was reached in the forum post, which gives some more references. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:26, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
