Hi,
   I have an interest in the Hockley family as my grandmother was a Hockley and I believe way back they came from around the Surrey area - Godalming, Guildford, Puttenham, etc.

1.   My grandmother was Violet Frederica Hockley b. 21 Sep 1886 in Bombay, India and she married Clifford Gordon Patrick O'Neal on 30 Aug 1909 in St. Anne's, Mazogon, Bombay, India.

2.   Her father was Thomas Tollemache Hockley b. 28 Nov 1854 in Murree, Bengal, India d. 10 Jan 1891 at No. 64 Ripon Rd, Byculla, Bombay, India. His wife was Ellen Phoebe Garvan and they married 27 Apr 1885 in Byculla, India. They also had a son (brother to Violet) - Lionel J. Hockley b. 28 Sep 1888 born in India – I have no further information on him.

3.   Thomas parents were Julius Joseph Hockley b. 09 Mar 1824 in Guildford, Surrey, England and Julia Taylor (wife 1) b. 21 Jan 1823, Richmond, Surrey d. Abt. 1857 in Almora, Uttaranchal, India. Married 04 Jun 1846 in St. John's, Calcutta, Bengal, India.

4.   Children of Julius J.  and Julia – all born in India –
Julius Joseph Ross Hockley b. 12 May 1847 – d. 12 Dec 1848 in Lucknow, Bengal, India
Julius Joseph Low Hockley b. 01 Apr 1849 – d. 09 Jun 1851 in Peshawar, Bengal, India
Lionel Arthur Hockley b. 14 Jun 1850 – d. 10 Jul 1851 in Peshawar, Bengal, India
Julia Margaret Hockley b. 19 Jun 1851 – d. 30 Nov 1851 in Peshawar, Bengal, India
Thomas Tollemache Hockley b. 28 Nov 1854 – d. 10 Jan 1891 in No. 64 Ripon Rd, Byculla, Bombay, India
William Hockley b. 21 Jun 1856 – d. 28 Aug 1856 in Murree, Bengal, India

5.   Julius J. married again - Emma Annie Mary Darby (wife 2) b. Abt. 1842 in Mitcham, Surrey, England, d. 16 Feb 1914 in Axminister, Devonshire, England. Married in India but don’t have a date or place. I have no information on Emma Annie Mary Darby’s family.


6.    Children of Julius J.  and Emma – first 4 born in India, rest in England –
 Amy Emma Maud Hockley b. 12 Jun 1861 – d. 1948 in Truro, Cornwell, England
Annie Margaret Hockley b. 14 Sep 1862 – d. ??
Helen Mary Hockley b. 07 Jan 1863 – 1947 in Truro, Cornwell, England
William Robert Hockley b. 08 Dec 1863 – 1872 in Mile End, Old Town, London, England

Norman Julius Hockley b. Abt. 1865 – d. 13 Aug 1952 in Honiton, Devon, England
Ethel Beatrice Hockley b. Abt. 1867 – d. ? 1891 in Kensington, London, England
Guy Wittenoom Hockley b. Abt. 1869 (became a church minister) – d. 16 Sep 1946 in Truro, Cornwall, England

I have a scattering of information about Julius Joseph Hockley. I would like some more information on his family (children) and his forebears and their wives (parents, g.parents, gg parents, etc) and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Regards,
   Sandi

Thanks very much for all the great information. I have updated my information and have managed to add  links to the Bainbridge and Tulloch families and some others.

I would dearly like to get some more info on the Hockley family -

  A few questions, hope someone can answer:
     1. Did Lionel and Ellen have any children? Yes, daughter Mary b. abt 1916 in India.
     2. Any information about Lionel - e.g. his occupation and when and where he died (bef 1940)?
         * Reputed to have died in East Africa serving with the British Army 19th Sept 1918? How can I find out if this is correct?

     3. The origins of the Hockley family, have they always been around the Surrey area or did they originally come from somewhere else?
     4. The Hockleys from Surrey - what type of occupations would they have had?
     5. Where is the best place (web site) to find out more info about the Hockleys from the Surrey area (that's free) ?

Regards,

        Sandi
