New York Passenger Lists 1820-1957

[Pilgrims Progress]

Hi There,    

Would some kind person help with the records of an Elisha Hocking- who appears in the New York Passenger Lists for 1820-1957?

Would be extremely grateful for any assistance,

Cheers for now,

Any other dates or clues?

That's a date range of nearly 140 years?!

Hi KGarrad, 

So sorry! The Elisha Hocking I am attempting to trace was b 28 Sep 1834- Cornwall, Eng and died 1898 in Vic, Australia.

Hope this helps? 

Many thanks,

Found this Elisha? The family obviously emigrated in the 1870's?

Golant, St Sampson, St Austell, Cornwall

Hocking, Elisha  Head  M  39  Ag Lab  b St Austell
Hocking, Ann  Wife  F  42  b Golant, St Sampson
Hocking, Herbert  Son  M  14  Shop Assistant  b St Blazey
Hocking, Earnest  Son  M  1  b Golant St Sampson

This Elisha can be found in 1851, and 1841 in Illogan Union Workhouse (Redruth)?

I had a look at cornwall-opc-database.org, but couldn't find a baptism for Elisha (but maybe he was baptised much later?)

The marriage for Elisha and Ann is there, though.

If you think that the man I have found is your Elisha, and need help with the other censuses, just shout up!
