I am seeking emigration records for
Nathaniel Hocking b. 1856 St Stephens, Cornwall 
He emigrated from Cornwall to the US some time
before his US marriage in 1883 at age 27 in Michigan

He is found living with his folks and siblings in Cornwall 
Census 1861
Census 1871
But in Census 1881 (at age 25) he is missing from the family.

I have a US marriage record that puts him in Michigan in 1983,
so it seems he left Cornwall sometimes between
1871 and 1883.

His family in Cornwall (as found in 1861 census)
Father: William Hocking  age 27 b. St Enoder
Mother: Jane age 26 b. St. Mewan
siblings (including Nathaniel)
John age 5 b. St Stephens
Nathaniel age 4 b. St Stephens
William age 2 b. St Stephens
Kate age 0 b. St Stephens

In addition to birth info about Nathaniel,
I am hoping to locate a marriage record for
William Hocking of St. Enoder
and Jane of St. Mewan
in about 1855.
[The incredible researcher Tati resolved this last request:
Nathaniel's mom = Jane Howard Trevena]


Thank you for any help in my search!
