Shropshire / Re: HOTCHKISS around Acton Scott
« on: Monday 01 November 04 18:43 GMT (UK) »
My great great grandmother, Susanna Disley, nee Jones, named William Hotchkiss (farmer) as her father on her marriage certificate in 1868. Since according to the 1871 Census, Susanna was born in Wentnor, I checked the 1851 Shropshire Census and found her aged one, living with her mother, Mary Jones, an unmarried 26-year old housekeeper to William Hotchkiss, a 60 year old farmer of 37 acres. So I am assuming Mary is the result of a relationship between William and Mary. William would have been born c. 1790. Can you give me any further information about the Hotchkiss family around this time and prior to this date?
