Mary Hockley born 1916 in India

[sandir03]

Hi, I'm trying to fins any information on a Mary Hockley born in  India.

Information I have -

Father - Lionel Hockley (aka Lional Lanley Hockley/Lionel Julius Wenceslaus Lambert Hockley) b. 28 Sep 1888 in India (where?) ; d. 19 Sep 1916 in WWI - Kenya (Private - Maxim Gun Section, Indian Army).  Married 04 Nov 1915 in St Thomas's Mount, Madras, India.

        Parents of Lionel - Thomas Tollemache Hockley and Ellen Phoebe Garvan both born in India.

Wife - Ellen Cecilia Allwood b. either 1889 or 05 Jul 1894 in India (where?) ; d. 30 Sep 1940 in Madras, India.

This was her second marriage - previously married to William Henry Erskine on 14 Jun 1909 in Madras, India....aged 15years if born in 1894!!!  Not sure if they had any children.

Daughter - Mary Hockley born abt 1916 in India. No information on her.

Did Ellen Cecilia Allwood marry again after Lionel died? Any more children?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ellen Cecilia Allwood baptised at Madras 19 December 1894, said to be born 5 July 1884.  Parents Richard & Cecilia Allwood. Father a mechanic, dead.

Brother Alexander Theophilus Allwood born 11 May 1886, baptised at the same time.

This was her second marriage - previously married to William Henry Erskine on 14 Jun 1909 in Madras, India....aged 15years if born in 1894!!!  Not sure if they had any children.

Per the marriage register she was aged 20 but she would have been just short of 25 if the baptism register is correct.

Ellen Cecilia HOCKLEY b 1885 died 30 Sep 1940 , buried 1 Oct  Kilpauk, St Mathias , Madras

record states widow of Lionel Hockley , (cause of death heart disease)- so not remarried.

This could be Mary Hockley :

Mary Fredericka Hockley 1915 Madras , Christchurch , father Hockley.

This is from British India Office Ecclesiastical Returns - unfortunately there is no more info given and no image.

2 entries from the Ecclesiastical Marriage Returns for Mary Frederica

1. 1938 to Joseph Leonard White Bangalore, Madras ; bride 23 , groom 34

2. 1942 to Leonard Joseph White Pudupet St Anthony , Madras ; bride 27 , groom 37

Once again  no image is available and these entries appear to be for the same people .

Edit : images are not available on line after 1915 because of data protection requirements and can only be viewed at the British Library.

Hi Christine,
        Thanks very much for the information. It gives me a bit more information to continue digging.

         I think this one is correct -
         'Mary Fredericka Hockley 1915 Madras , Christchurch , father Hockley.'   

         A coincidence as my Grandmother Violet's middle name was Frederica (Violet Frederica Hockley) - she was Lionel's brother.

         1. Why would the Ecclesiastical entries have the two records 4 years apart for the 'same' person i.e 1938 and 1942 ?

         2. How do I find out if Mary Hockley and Joseph/Leonard White had any children?
