Dear Corinne

I have no idea whether this is your friends man, however, it is the only
Benjamin HOCKING in BISA.....

HOCKING, Benjamin, res: Kooringa
m: 21.02.1863 Kooringa SA, Mary Ann nee WARREN, par: Archelaus

It is definitely not this one as he was 22 years of age when he married, far
too young for the subject????

Only just read the bottom of your entry, so definitely nothing to do with
your question......

Happy researching

Subject: A Benjamin Hocking arriving?


Hello Friends,

Am trying to help a friend with this who doesn't have internet access. She
has been searching for the arrival of her gg grandfather, Benjamin Hocking,
who was in Cornwall when the 1841 Census was taken ...... not there in 1851
...... and first sighted in Australia when he married in Victoria in the
early 1850s.

We can't find him coming into Victoria ...... and it has occurred to me that
he may have came to south Australia, as so many of the Cornish did, then
came to Victoria to seek his fortune on the Goldfields.

This very kind lady has been searching for her gg grandfather's arrival for
30 years and I would like to help her, if possible.

Hocking was a common Cornish name, but Benjamin wasn't all that common. So
I would be very grateful for any "Benjamin Hockings" who arrived in South
Australia between 1841 - 1852, please.

Kindest Regards ...... Corinne in Melbourne, Australia.
