Just for information, on ER for 1890, Hokitaka, James Denniston Lochore and Robert Lochore are both living at Liverpool Bill's, occupation miners.
On 1876/1876 Hokitaka ER's James D and Robert are living at Liverpool Bill's, Waimea.
Son in 1890, brother in 1875 of Robert?
added:
James married Annie in 1884, so not sure who is showing where on the ER's.
