James, John, Josiah, George HOKIN
I'm not sure if anyone still monitors this forum, but here goes.
I a reasearching my wife's family and her mother is a Hokin.
Her father was George Frederick son of Josiah and Francis Tollis. Then Up to John (married to Martha Davis) and then James (married to Catherine).
John was born in Sydney(1844), but I cannot find when his parents (James and Catherine)came to Australia, or even where they came from.
The Hokins seem to be a family of shoemakers ( very good ones according to my mother in law). The trade seems to have been passed down.
Can anyone help??
Cheers
Graham
