Thanks, I am using this site for the record but could not read the place of birth. Is it St Thomas and have you any idea where that is?
Many Thanks

it is in Devon

you are best looking at the site I gave you above

click on the place name (St Thomas) and it will show you where the area covered is. You can then find out by following the instructions which towns/villages that registration area covered

Wow! Excellent thank you.
Have I got it right that the surname changed from Hockings to Hookings or could that be a mistake?
