Hello again
As you can tell I am researching my family and the Hoy family is one of great interest. I can tell you that if you have a great great and or grandfather with the names George, Robert, Alfred or Thomas Hoy (unless the father of these boys), you are not related. Not one of these boys ever married and remained single until they died. The gold was their mistress and mining it was their life. They did not have time to marry. My grandmother was the boys' niece.
You will find Ann Christina Hoy (formerly Newlands), is actually buried as Annie Christina Hoy. Ann Christina Hoy and George Hoy (Hood) had, Agnes Jane, Ada Florence, Ann Christina, Alice (did not live past one year old), Then the boys, Robert, Alfred, George and Thomas. Ann Christina (Jnr) married Ioan Price (pronounced Yawn).
I hope this clears up some misconception I have been reading about.
