I have checked the 1841 census for Devon on a Devon disc that I have and he is not in Devon at all, I am now wondering If he may have been in London at that time, can anyone check this please.
Thank you,
Syd

Yes Hannah died one month after marring William on the 26-10-1837 (how sad) and William married Caroline 18-2-1851.

Flip- the 1841 census might be correct, as there's a death for a Hannah Hockey in Nov 1837. Perhaps she died a few weeks after being married??

Just for reference this is the marriage of William- note: no age given, or middle name for William. No middle name for witness, Mary (so could be Georges wife, or William's mother etc?)

So has Jacqueline got the wrong family in 1841 - William Hockey was still with his parents and no sign of a wife?

His brother was William Patterson Hockey b. 1811. the other Witness was his sister Mary Patterson Hockey b.1819. Ann Cardiff has found a possible death in 1860 at Axminster, so maybe Harriet remarried.
Thanks for your help,
Syd

Hi Syd

Who was the other witness at his brothers 1837 marriage? And what is the name of the brother getting married?

I can't see him or Harriett in 1861 (always assuming it is the right couple), nor can I find the lodger in 1841 - I had hoped she was the mother in law.

???????????????

Name: George Hockey
Event Type: Death
Registration Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration Year: 1860
Registration District: Axminster
County: Devon
Event Place: Axminster, Devon, England
Volume: 5B
Page: 2
Line Number: 39

Yes I have tried Free BMD without luck, I am wondering if he may show up on the 1861 census, Kilmington where he was born is listed under Axminster so the name of Exminster may have been entered by error.
Regards,
Syd

Not with parents in 1841

I am looking for any information about George Hockey bap: 7-12-1817 at Kilmington Devon, he was the son of William & Mary Hockey, all I know at the moment is he was still alive in September 1837 (he was a witness at his brothers marriage)
The problem that I have is there was another George Hockey bap:12-10-1817 at nearby Yarcombe, this George was the son of George & Grace Hockey and he married Hannah and they lived at Yarcombe & Lyme Regis Devon. Any information about my George would be most welcome, thank you.
