1872. A William Hodson, 32, dies Bolton Sep 1872 . Doubt if this is he as a, seeming, son, John Hudson, is born 1875 , and death entries rarely misspelt!
1881C. William is missing from this Census. His wife, stated as married still, Alice Hudson, 35, piercer at cotton mill, is living 8 Bk Burnden, Great Bolton with his mother & 2 sisters & his maternal grandparents

His wife remarries James Yates in 1882, thus he, William Hudson, dies 1871-1882, and likely before April 1881
1879. A William Hudson was buried on 4/11/1879 in Tonge Cemetery, Bolton. No age given , but this unlikely him as this recorded on Bmd as being a 79 yr old . Oddly there is a William Hudson death Lancaster 1914 for a man born in 1838!!- but Lancaster ~100 k NW of Bolton!, and William Hudson a very common name!
All I can thus determine is that William Hudson died 1871-1881, probably between 1875 -1881
