MARY HOCKRIDGE 1815

 

Mary was baptised on 27 Dec 1815 (1) in Hartland, Devon. (Hockeridge on baptism) She married George Delve but I have not been able to find their marriage details.

George Delve was born about 1813 (2) in Pilton or Hartland, Devon. I have not found his baptism so his year of birth is taken from the age given at the time of his death.

George was a Farmer of various small farms in Parkham, Alwington and Welcombe. He and Mary had 5 children.

Thomas Hockridge Delve Born 1847 (3) in Parkham
William Hockridge Delve Born 1851 (3) in Alwington
