The son of John George Hodgson, he was born at Thanet in May 1839. He was educated at Harrow School, before going up to Trinity College, Oxford. A keen cricketer, Hodgson did not feature in first-class cricket for Oxford University Cricket Club, but did make four first-class appearances for the Gentlemen of Kent from 1858 to 1861. He scored 74 runs in his four matches at an average of 18.50, with a high score of 32. With his roundarm fast bowling he took 2 wickets.
