I have never found a death entry for Samuel.

In 1851 SAMUEL was living with his son (Samuel) at Shellane Cottage Membury, he is stated to be a Widower.
SAMUEL was a Butcher, the witnesses at his marriage were: JOAN SMITH, JOHN HOCKEY, WILLIAM KYTE.

Was the mother's Christian name recorded on Samuel's baptism entry?

Is this the right burial?

Can you say how you know that Samuel was the son of the man who married Sarah?

Syd

Syd Report 5 Mar 2015 18:49

One more Query, Thomas Hockey had a son named Samuel born Stockland 1789 as this is 8 or 9 years before his marriage to Sarah Symons (nee martin) it looks as if it was also His 2nd marriage but I cannot find any entry for a marriage.

I have solved the mystery.
In the 1800s a son-in-law was stepson not as we know it today, I have found that Thomas Hockey,s wife (Sarah) was married to a Henry Symons and they had a son William, Henry died at Luppit about 1797 and Sarah married Thomas 30-8-1798 at Luppit. I have not yet been able to find the marriage of Sarah & Henry to give me Sarah,s maiden name.
Regards,
Judy

Thanks again Jacqueline, there must have been another Daughter for Thomas & Sarah that I have missed and she married William Symons.
The research that you have kindly found for me is very much appreciated.

Sorry, Judy, but there isn't a 'problem'

The 1841 for Elizabeth MOORE is the right woman

I gave you her marriage info
