Find Ancestors

Jane Eleanor Hockings who married William was born in Lympstone Devon in 1829. Her parents were Samuel Hockings and Martha Denning.

There has been a lot of information on the Hockings side but it all seemed to stop when it got to the Hollis's

In 1861 Finsbury would have come under Middlesex

Thanks again
Ann

Can you give me Jane's date and place of birth please.
I know Finsbury is in London but at the risk of looking stupid, which county would that be in 1861?

Many thanks Catherine, I have a copy of this certificate but can't find out about his parents

Thanks for helping

Thanks for replying

According to a later census he was born in Kensington and all his children were born in London as well.

On the marriage certificate it looks like his father was a greengrocer, but it is not very clear.

At the time of the marriage William himself was down as a cheesemonger, which was his wife's family busines

For reference:-

Marriages Sep 1856 (>99%)
Hollis William Joseph Wandsworth 1d 681
Hockings Jane Wandsworth 1d 681

The district Wandsworth spans the boundaries of the counties of Greater London, London and Surrey

Please can anyone help.

My greatgrandfather William Joseph Hollis who was 25 at the time married Jane Hockings in July 1856 in Clapham

His father also called William Joseph was at the wedding.

What I can't find is any information regarding him or his parents in the census 1941, 1951 and 1961. I do not know his mother's name

In the 1861 census his wife Jane was living at Drury Lane Finsbury with two children, Henry and William but no William Joseph Martin

I also cannot find any brothers and sisters for William

Any help would be appreciated
