BIOGRAPHY: Born of a family that preferred learning to business, and that were devout Quakers, all members of the Society of Friends. His early classical education was under the supervision of his father.
- Attended Trinity College.
- Continued his studies at Oxford when laws were changed allowing Quakers to enter that school.
- After Oxford, and before returning to study for a profession, he chose the Grand Tour, returning from the continent a year later. Young and handsome, he discarded the faith of his family and became wordly, living a gay social life with interest in the arts, particularly poetry. Throughout his life he continued fluent in French, Latin, and Greek. His interests and education seemed to be purely cultural.
- 1879, 11 Feb: Was a banker, living in St. James Parish. (7,12) Was a partner in the banking firm of Beeching, Hodgkin & Beeching of Tunbridge Wells.
- Described as "a genuine sportsman and a thorough manly English gentleman."
- Was Lord Chief Justice of the area, probably an honorary title.
- 1879, 6 Nov: Living at Woodley House, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. Occupation banker.
- 1881, 14 Apr: Living at Woodsley House, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. Occupation banker.
- 1882, 23 Nov: Living at Woodsley House, Ferndale Park, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. Occupation banker.
- 1884, 28 Jun: Living at Hamsell Manor, Rotherfield, Sussex Co., England. Occupation banker.
- After his marriage, his home was Hamsel Manor, a country house near Eridge Castle, the home of his close friend and best man at their wedding, Lord George Nevill, son and heir of the Marquess of Abergavenny. The manor house was one mile from Tunbridge Wells. Eleanor Hodgkin, his daughter, related the story that telegrams from Tunbridge Wells were delivered free of charge in a radius of one mile. Hamsel Manor was just a bit more than that, and Wilfred was so angry at having to pay for the delivery that he had the road straightened to come within that mile limit. They lived well, and had a well-staffed home, which included a governess and 3 nurses for the children. The children were to be seen and not heard, and spent all of their time in a separate wing of the house with soundproof doors, using a rear stairway for their daily walks and outdoor play. They occasionally had tea with their parents. Wilfred would each week ask one child to join him for Sunday breakfast.
- 1887, 12 May: Living at Hamsell Manor, Rotherfield, Sussex Co., England. Occupation Gentleman.
- The family story passed on to Nell and Nora Turnbull (his granddaughters) is that he made poor investments, investing heavily in California gold mines. His son R.H. "Dick" Hodgkin said it was the Comstock Mine. He lost his inheritance, and rather than change their way of life, chose to live in America on his wife's trust fund. They disposed of everything but personal belongings and sailed to Rhode Island with 5 children. His daughter Violet and Nell and Nora quote cousin Olaf HODGKIN as saying, "My father (Jonathan Backhouse Hodgkin) and Uncle Tom (Thomas Hodgkin, historian) paid much of (his) indebtedness when he left the bank and went to your country. It made quite a difference in our way of life as we had to give up our country home, but we were glad to do it to avoid a scandal in the family. We never blamed him and were sorry for him. Just felt he had been badly influenced."
- His mother, Elizabeth Haughton Hodgkin, selected a governess for his children, a Miss Minto, daughter of an English Army officer stationed in India. She continued living with the family until her marriage to Alfred Way, a well born Englishman who had settled in America.
- Left his family with his wife's sister Seraphina in Rhode Island and traveled west by train, intending to buy property on the San Francisco penninsula, but before leaving, he had talked to his wife's cousin Roger DeWolf, who had bought large acreage in Fresno County, hated the people and the way of life, and gave it all to his sheepherder. His advice was not even to look out the window when passing through the valley, but he did.
- The executors of his mother-in-law's estate purchased a vineyard for them in Fresno Co., CA, and named in San Ricardo Vineyard after the plantation in Cuba owned by his wife's father Don Ricardo D. Smith.
- Was a vineyardist.
- He and his family tried to live as they had in England, but it was a losing battle. He found people more to his liking in San Francisco, and gradually spent more and more of his time there, living at the Bohemian Club.
- He had a house on Beach Hill in Santa Cruz, where the family spent 3 months each year to avoid the heat of the valley summers.
