Hi All,
George Hockaday Probably born 1848/49 Launceston Cornwall, Married Ellen Gilpin 18 May 1874 St Andrew Plymouth, 1881 census address Southampton, married to Ellen 2 children he is Mariner R N R.
1911 and 1921 census Torquay, he is a Steam Car Driver. Buried 11 April 1939 age 90 add Lymington Rd Torquay.
Can't find him on any R.N ships roll for the Zulu War, a man of this name does appear on some Merchant Navy ships lists for the late 1860's. Was he on a commandeered vessel???
