Hello, everyone. This is my first message to this list (I have just subscribed). Does anyone have a Mary Hocking, marrying a Stephen Benallack, or another female Hocking, marrying a male Benallack? I have a Stephen Benallack/Benalack/Bennalack/Bennallack, marrying a Mary Hockey/Hockin/Hocking/Hoctin/Hawke, in 1786, in Ladock. The family name spellings vary with each different record, including each different record in the parish register, and each different record in the online IGI. There is also another BENALLACK researcher with whom I have been in contact, who has a John BENALLACK marrying an Ann HOCKING in 1780 in Probus. Any information about either marriage, and the associated Hocking (?) family/familes, would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
