I seek further information on LEA & HOCKENHULL in Cheshire and contact with fellow researchers on the following connected families.

Phoebe, b. c1834, Wrenbury, Cheshire; m. John HOCKENHULL of Wrenbury.
Martha, b. c1836, Cheshire.
Ellen, b. c1837, Cheshire.
This family is confirmed in the 1841 census in Wrenbury-cum-Frith, Cheshire, England.
Second LEA Family:
Thomas LEA married Martha ROBINSON, 1829, Audlem, Cheshire. Their son:
John LEA, b. c1830, Audlem, m. Elizabeth HOCKENHULL b. c1835, 1854, Wrenbury, Cheshire. Their children:

Thomas, b. 1870, Baddiley; d. 1953.
John Jr., b. 1871; d. 1872.
James, b. 1872; m(1) Hannah FORRESTER of Wem, Shropshire, 1894, Wem. Migrated to Canada and married three more times. He his my great-great grandfather.
Catherine, b. 1875, Baddiley.
The John & Elizabeth (HOCKENHULL) LEA family is confirmed in following censues:
1881, Blackhurst Farm, Baddiley, Cheshire.
1891, Sleap Hall, Middle, Shropshire.
1901, Tilstock Village, Whitchurch, Shropshire.
HOCKENHULL:
First HOCKENHULL Family:
James HOCKENHULL and unknown wife had following child:
Elizabeth, b. c 1835, Wrenbury, Cheshire.
Second HOCKENHULL Family:
James HOCKENHULL, b. c1791 m. Betty (HOCKENHULL), b. c1796. They had at least the following children:
William, b. c1821, Cheshire.
Mary, b. c1826, Cheshire.
Elizabeth, b. c1834, Cheshire.
John, b. c1837, Wrenbury, Cheshire.
This family is confirmed in the 1841 Census in Wrenbury-cum-Frith, Cheshire.
John HOCKENHULL (above), b. c1837, Wrenbury; m. Phoebe LEA (above, daughter of Thomas LEA and unknown wife). They had the following children:
Thomas, b. c1861, Wrenbury, Cheshire.
John, b. c1863, Wrenbury; m. Jane LEA (above, daughter of John LEA & Elizabeth HOCKENHULL), c1886, Nantwich, Cheshire.
George, b. c1865, Wrenbury.
William, b. c1867, Wrenbury.
Samuel, b. c1869, Wrenbury.
Elizabeth, b. c1870.
Alfred, b. c1872, Wrenbury.
Above family confirmed in following censues:
1881, Wrenbury Frith Farm, Wrenbury-cum-Frith, Cheshire.
(1881, Alfred HOCKENHULL in the Manchester School for the Deaf and Dumb in Stretford, Lancashire, England.)
1891, Frith Farm, Wrenbury-cum-Frith, Cheshire.
****
I have a hunch that James HOCKENHULL, who married Betty (HOCKENHULL) is the father to both John HOCKENHULL who married Phoebe LEA *and* Elizabeth HOCKENHULL who married John LEA. I also have a hunch that Thomas LEA, who married Martha ROBINSON is the father to both Phoebe LEA *and* John LEA. Martha ROBINSON may not be the mother to Thomas's older children, James, b. c1826 & Mary, b. c1826.
Would love to find the clues that prove this!

Hi,
Thanks for responding to my query.
Here's what I have on Hannah FORRESTER:
Ancestors of Hannah (*) FORRESTER
Generation No. 1
1. Hannah (*) FORRESTER, born 20 October 1876 in Wem, Shropshire, England; died 06 October 1910 in Trochu, AB, Canada. She was the daughter of 2. William (*) FORRESTER and 3. Anne (*) (FORRESTER). She married (1) James (*) LEA 14 February 1894 in Wem, Shropshire, England. He was born 14 November 1872 in Baddiley, Cheshire, England, and died 22 November 1956 in St. Mary's Hospital, Trochu, AB, Canada. He was the son of John (*) LEA and Elizabeth (*) HOCKENHULL.
Generation No. 2
2. William (*) FORRESTER, born Abt. 1827 in Wem, Shropshire,
England. He married 3. Anne (*) (FORRESTER).
3. Anne (*) (FORRESTER), born Abt. 1828 in Wem, Shropshire,
England.
Children of William FORRESTER and Anne (FORRESTER) are:
i. Dolly FORRESTER, born Abt. 1871 in Newcastle,
Staffordshire, England.
1 ii. Hannah (*) FORRESTER, born 20 October 1876
in Wem, Shropshire, England; died 06 October
1910 in Trochu, AB, Canada; married James (*)
LEA 14 February 1894 in Wem, Shropshire,
England.
iii. John FORRESTER
****
Hannah and her family are known to have lived at Tilley Farm from at least 1881 to 1891 and by the 1901 census she was in Loppington Village.
The census records show an interesting possible discrepancy that may be a clue to the family composition: In 1881 Hannah is aged 5 and listed as a niece and Mary BENNETT, aged 10, is listed as a daughter of William and Anne FORRESTER. In the 1891, Hannah is aged 10 and is listed as a daughter and a Dolly/Polly is aged 20 and also listed as a daughter. Dolly/Polly's birthplace is listed as Newcastle, Staffordshire.
I hope this info helps in making a possible connection to your FORRESTER family and I would love to hear more about it. I'm not permitted to give you my email address on this forum, so I hope there is a way that you can contact me one-on-one to share more information.
Cheers,
Laury

Dear Laury
It certainly would be good to compare notes. The bad news is I cannot see a link to my family but we talking 8 miles from where my family are and were based going back 300 years!

Hi
a good few years since you made this post but we only got into the genealogy thing a couple of months back.
Thomas Lea b1870 was my great grandfather. I have a photo of him and Annie Jane Pitchford if you are interested.
