If this marriage took place in Ecchinswell (as seems likely - see below) I am unable to check as the register is still in the parish. I have a Fanny Hussey bapt. 11 Jan 1852 at St. Lawrence Ecchinswell to Willima & Mary. William Hussey married Mary Somersby about 1836 as first child I have recorded was born about Dec 1837 in Ecchinswell. There were 6 children born before Fanny and 2 after. William died at The Quarry, Ecchinswell in 1890 and was buried at St. Lawrence. Mary died in 1901 and was also buried at St. Lawrence. Fanny had a (baseborn) child, Alice Hussey, bapt. 6 Sep 1868 at St. Lawrence, Ecchinswell. > Can anyone confirm who Anthony and Fanny's parents were?

I don't have much on Hockley but do have an Anthony bapt. at St. Mary on 12 July 1846 to Thomas & Elizabeth, Thomas Hockley married Elizabeth Tucker at St. Mary, Kingsclere on 2 Jan 1833 and I have 5 children born prior to Anthony. -- John Lewis <jayellatntlworlddotcom> from Bournemouth, Dorset, UK. using Debian GNU/Linux and GeneWeb genealogy software
