George Lewis Hoskin born 1870

[margot231]

I am looking for any information on my great grandfather.  He lived in Canterbury and was married to Julia Hole.  Thank you if anyone can help with his parents or where they were from.

[KGarrad]

Do you have George on any census?
When, and where, did he marry Julia?

I found a George Lewis Hoskin marrying a Julia Hole in 1903 on a New Zealand index. Could that be him?

You need to specify the country, as there are a LOT of Canterbury's on this planet!

Yes the fact that he lived in NZ is a rather important piece of missing information!

Father was William Hoskin, according to his 1902 military record (volunteering for service in South Africa).

William was his next of kin.  Address: Goldhurst, Canterbury.
