Member Since: December 2002 Posts: 0 Send Message	Hi Vanessa, After hunting for Clara Sheppard, this one looks like a definite match, even though the surname was indexed as Hookham (it's clearly Hockham on the image)! Anne M.Hockham, Daughter, 16, Sussex Selmeston Jane Hockham, Wife, 51, Sussex Pevensey John Hockham, Head, 42, Sussex Selmeston, Agricultural Labourer Residing at Coney Hall, Selmeston You will be interested to know that there's also a George Hockham, aged 60 living at Fairfield Cottage, Selmeston. He's listed as an Agricultural Labourer and is living on his own. Might he be an uncle or father of John? Andy.
