Need to fill the gaps
| Barbara Boyer (View posts) | Posted: 2 Aug 2000 2:22PM GMT |
I have been researching my tree for quite a few years now and need to fill in gaps. The tree starts with William Hosken B1765 D 1833 married White or Whyte. They had 5 sons, William, Richard, Leslie and two I don't have names for. William was a ship owner(probably a pirate) and miller in Penzance in Cornwall. It is said he died intestate and the sons could not agree on the property. The sons each took a ship and went to other countries. One to America, one to Australia and two to South Africa. Some of them changing their surname to Hosking/Hoskyn. Thats where my lineage comes from. My ancester Richard Hosking b1801 d 1875 married Alice Daneel and they had ten children. If any of this sounds fimiliar, please send me a line.
