    1. [ENG-DUR] Hockin family
    2. graham HOCKIN
    3. Hi I am looking for information about my husband's G grandfather and his family. He was Charles Luxmoore Hockin, a solicitor and local government auditor for the Northern Counties. The family appear to have lived at 5 Harewood Hill, Darlington as this address appears on the children's birth certificates. They were resident in Darlington from about 1886 to at least 1895. They had moved to Essex by June 1897, when the youngest child was born. Charles Luxmoore Hockin was killed in a coaching accident in Essex in February 1900 aged 47 and although we have a newspaper report of the coroner's inquest we have not yet managed to trace an obituary which would tell us more about his life and work. His wife was Catharine Mary nee Brabant and there were 6 children born in Darlington. One of these, Gwendolene, died young and must be buried in Darlington. Has anyone any idea what parish they lived in? i.e. where were the children christened and Gwendolene buried? We would be grate! ful for any information about their home or work etc. My husband's grandfather was the youngest child and only 2 when his father died so very little information has passed down. Many thanks Lesley Hockin.
