William John Hocking
England and Wales, Marriage Registration Index
Name: William John Hocking
Event Type: Marriage
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration Year: 1877
Registration District: Dover
County: Kent
Event Place: Dover, Kent, England

Line Number: 321

William John Hocking probably married one of the following people
Name: Charles Chapman
Name: Afra Ann Collins
Name: Isabell Mary Thompson

This is proving interesting. So young William moved back to his grandparents place which is why he seemed to disappear from my records.
Thank you both very much! This has been really interesting!

1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census

Round Tower Street, St Mary the Virgin, Dover, Kent, England


John Hocking Head Married Male 64 1797 Shoemaker Looe, Cornwall, England

Elenor Hocking Wife Married Female 74 1787 - St Neots, Cornwall, England

Mary Rogers Daughter Married Female 25 1836 - Dover, Kent, England

>>>>>William Price Grandson Unmarried Male 19 1842 Shipwright Apprentice Dover, Kent, England

Edward Rogers Grandson - Male 4 1857 - Dover, Kent, England

Mary Rogers Granddaughter - Female 2 1859 - Perth, Perthshire, Scotland

Jiles Masten Lodger Unmarried Male 47 1814 Labourer Sussex, England

In other words, she was a solo mother. Living on the farm with mum and dad, they probably accepted him and when Elizabeth went off and married John, William was part of the package deal.

Ah. So that sounds like she had William John Price to someone else and John adopted him doesn't it?

ha ha. Yes possibly - again, wondered where he came from. He's only 10 but already employed?? as a mason and he doesn't seem to appear before or after that census.

Could Son-in-Law mean a fostered child I wonder ?

fat fingers I guess.

Sorry.
