EDIT.........see below

John Hocking, widower, aged 40, married Sarah Bunney, widow 1875
His father SAMUEL Hocking
Her father John HOCKING

Also…..in 1879, Sophia Hocking, aged 19, father John Hocking, miner, married giving address as Patten Street

There is a death in Burnley in 1882 of a John Hocking aged 47…..possibly too young

?????????
John Hocking, Coal miner, born Cornwall is in Burnley in 1881 with a wife named Sarah, who had been married before

A son of her marriage to Hocking was born in 1876 in Cumberland (Willie). MMN will be on the GRO index…

The years of birth don't match what you said in our opening post - is this the right family??

According to the marriage record on the FREE LanOPC site, the father was a Collier

One of the witnesses was a SAMUEL Hocking

In 1881, she says she was born in PLYMOUTH, Devon

In 1881, Samuel married the other witness, Eliza Richards. His father John was also said to be a Collier
In 1881, his YoB is estimated to be 1853

1885, John Hocking married saying father John was ‘dead’

Address for all Hockings getting married was Patten Street, and all married in St Matthew the Apostle, Habergham Eaves

I think this is the right family:
