Hello Alan I cannot help you with your specific question about the farm in Redruth, but I'm wondering if we have any family connection other than our surname. My family too came from Redruth and while I have some of the line, there are many branches which seem to have just disappeared. My grandfather, Howard Hocking, was born in Redruth in 1877 to Joseph Hocking and Mary Ruse Sanders. He came from a family of nine, only 3 of which I can trace. Joseph was the youngest son of Richard Hocken (sic) and Elizabeth Wherry of the St Austell area. The family seemed to move about mid Cornwall in the 19th century and than scattered. Maybe we could share some information if you see any possible connection. Best regards, Bob hocking49@tiscali.co.uk wrote: >This is my first posting to the list, so i am a little bit nervous. My father, Matthew Thomas Hocking was born 1902 on a farm in Falmouth road Redruth which is now a small housing estate. I have pictures of the farmhouse but try as i might , I cannot find any trace of a name of the farm. Hoping one of you can be of some assistance. Many thanks in anticipation.
