Surnames: Hockings Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TSj.2ACIB/110.111.1 Message Board Post: Hello there, I cannot help too much with your search save for telling you that the Hockings family name is concentrated in the counties of Devon/Cornwall as this was where the family is said to have first landed in the UK after emigrating. Obviously the family has spread from the motherland now, but still there are for more Hockings here than in other parts of the country.
