My distant cousin (met consequent to researching our common Cornish Hocking line) and I both have separate family folklore connections to the above mentioned but have been unable as yet to make the actual connection. Our common ancestor was Henry HOCKING b. March 2 1859 in Gunnislake who married Caroline LANYON from Marazion December 3 1881. Henry's father was Thomas HOCKING b. 1821 St Buryan and Thomas' father was William HOCKIN b. ca. 1785 ?where. Does anyone know if James HOCKING the father of Silas, Joseph and siblings was the son/nephew or other blood relative of the same William? Many Thanks in anticipation
