St Columb Minor, Cornwall5
Address: Fore Street
The household consisted of Elizabeth, her daughters Mary and Lydia , and a visitor Jeniffer Hockin. It is thought that Jeniffer may be Elizabeth's late husband Richard's sister.
Parents:
25 Feb 1863 (age 58)
Thomas and Sarah Osborne were present at the burial of their child Sarah on 25 February 1863 in Churchyard of St Columba Parish Church, St Columb Minor, Cornwall according to the Church of England rite. The minister at the burial was the Rev. N. F. Chudleigh, Incumbant. Sarah's husband George said in a letter to his sister that Sarah had been buried three days after she died. He did not say where the burial took place or who the mourners were but it is fairly self evident that the burial would have been in the local churchyard and that he would have been there, and also Sarah's parents and George's parents.
Census:
2 Apr 1871 (age 66)
St Columb Minor, Cornwall6
Address: Ocean View
The household consisted of Elizabeth and her daughter Mary and probably her daughter Lydia. Although Lydia is not recorded in the Census she was almost certainly living with her mother because she had been with her in the 1861 Census and also reported her mother's death to the Registrar in November 1871. The death certificate indicates that she was with her mother when she died although the address of both her mother and Lydia is given as Newquay which is not necessarily indicative that they were living in the same house.
Death:
13 Nov 1871 (age 67)
Cause: dropsy
Address: Newquay, St Columb Minor, Cornwall
Although the Death Certificate records the cause of death as dropsy (now known as oedema) dropsy is a symptom of an underlying condition. She probably had congestive cardiac failure - eodema in the legs is a classic symptom - or kidney failure.

Marriage:
9 Aug 1828 (age 23)
the Parish Church of St Columba10
Address: St Columb Minor, Cornwall
The relationship between the witnesses and the couple is not known. It is assumed from the date of birth of their first child in October or November 1831 and the intervals at which the other children arrived that they were married early in 1831 or before. A search of the parish records produced only one record of a marriage of a Richard Hockin to an Elizabeth in the parish of St Columb Minor. Who was at the wedding apart from the witnesses is not known. Probably the groom's parents (if they were still alive), the bride's mother (her father had died in the previous year), and any siblings that the groom and bride had.
Census for household:
6 Jun 1841 (age 36)
St Columb Minor, Cornwall11
Address: Newquay
The household consisted of Richard, his wife Elizabeth, their children Sarah (age 10), Richard (age 8), David (age 6), Thomas (age 3) and George (age 1), and a lodger John Tinny who was probably Elizabeth's nephew and like Richard was an agricultural labourer.
Census for household:
30 Mar 1851 (age 46)
St Columb Minor, Cornwall12
Address: Mount Wise
The household consisted of Richard, his wife Elizabeth and their children Sarah, Richard, Thomas (age 13), George (age 11), Mary (age 8), William (age 7), Lydia (age 5) and Jabez (age 4). George, Mary and William were attending school. The remaining children were at home. In the census return the surnames are recorded as Hocking. However, this is considered to be the correct return for Richard Hockin's family. The enumerator obviously used the phonetic rendition of Hockin and as Richard was illiterate he would have been unable to check what the enumerator was writing down.
