Posted on: HOCKING Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/h/o/HOCKING/queries/10008 Surname: Hocking, Slater, Wilkie ------------------------- I am Deaf and looking for my grandfather, Charles Francis (Frank) Hocking's descendants in Victoria and England. My grandfather was born somewhere near Skipton, Victoria, (possibility Moglonemby) on 8th April, 1897. His father came from Cornwell, England. I believe his mother was French-Swiss and her name was Madeline. I believe my grandfather grew up in Geelong. My grandfather's silbings were - William (Bill) Hocking, Madeline Hocking, Robert (Bob) Hocking, Charlotte Hocking, George Hocking, Bertha Hocking, Eva Hocking, Lucy Hocking and Lena Hocking. My grandfather married Marion Slater from Skipton in 1929. They had five children - Frank (dec), Lois, Colin, Madeline (my mother) and David. I was told that my grandfather's cousin Percy Hocking was Deaf. I would appreciate if you have any information about them.
