    3. I am looking for information on my grandfather, Richard HOCKING, born April 30, about 1865 in Cornwall, England. Died in the 1930's in Cornwall before I was born. I have yet to find where he is buried. He supposedly remarried in 1926 shortly after his wife Sarah's death, January, 1926. He at one time owned a farm but was also a tin miner as were the boys when they were old enough to work in the mine. My mother told me he had 5 brothers & that Richard was the shortest of all, he being 6'4" One of the brothers was killed fighting in one of the Zulu wars. He married Francis "SARAH" Ann JACOBS around 1890 and they lived in Redruth, Cornwall, England Sarah, b: Dec. 1865, d: Jan. 1926, was the daughter of Thomas & Maria (HANCOCK) JACOB(S) Sarah is buried in Old St Day cemetery, Redruth , Cornwall, England They had 4 children, all born in Redruth area and all moved to the USA in the early 1920's Richard, b: May about 1890 Lillian Mae Pearl, b: Dec 1893 John Henry, b: May 1897 Winfired Annie, b: Nov., 1900 I have come across some Richard HOCKINGS but as far as I know he does not have a middle name so it makes it more difficult to decide which one is his family. I ordered the marriage film from the LDS church but when I got it, it was missing all of Cornwall. Does anyone have any connections to this family? Thank You Susane Cotter
