Morning Tati

On the money as usual .... sigh  Grin

The 1911 has father down as John H Bassett, but that is not viewing the original document, so unless there is a transcription error I think we are ok.

Well, maybe not, given the marriage registration. Was he definitely born in Linkinhorne?

According to the 1911 census, but would have been registered in Liskeard I think?  I can't view the 1901 census due to my firewall at work (naughty me).

I can't see a better match for a John born Linkinhorne.

In 1881 this family goes by the name Hawkin

Tati

That is close to genius!

All the names and ages correlate to the 1991 - very well done.  But why did they drop the Bassett in the 1881, or, include the Bassett in the 1991?

The plot thickens!!

Searching for the children's birth registrations ...

Ellen, maybe?
Louisa Ellen Hocking, Mar 1888, Liskeard 5c 54

Frank?
Frank Bassett Jun 1885 Liskeard 5c 48

Lily
Lily Bassett Dec 1880 Liskeard 5c 48

Thomas
Thomas Hocking Bassett - Sep 1878 Liskeard 5c 50

William
William Hocking Bassett Dec 1875 Liskeard 5c 59

Best match I can see for John is
John Kemp Bassett Mar 1883 5c 49

Not so sure!

Maybe dad was illegitimate and that's why he used 2 names. I'll try to find him on earlier censuses.

(The family are Hocking in 1901)

What do you think of this as a marriage?

Marriages Mar 1869  
 
Bassett  John    Exeter  5b 164    
Hill  Thomas     E. Stonehouse  5b 164    
Snow  Jane Denford     Exeter  5b 164    
Stocker  Elizabeth     Exeter  5b 164

Would have meant Elizabeth marrying at 16/17, was that legal?  Huh

Oh yes, it would have been legal with parental consent. I'll try and find them in 1871 to see if they are already together.

Odd - tracing the Bassets Back, William and Margery are already together as Bassett in 1851 and 1841 (=before John's birth).

This is useful (IGI 1881) for William Bassett born in Morval, widowed showing father in laws surname as Southern which was thus Margery's maiden name:

Dwelling   Penquite Cottage
  Census Place St Germans, Cornwall, England
  Family History Library Film   1341547
  Public Records Office Reference   RG11

It's the other way round - William Bassett is father in law to John Southern, who apparently married his daughter Sarah  Wink
