!Source: Chris Hotchkiss - Thomas was born 24/3/1873. On the birth certificated his father and mother were listed as Richard and Ellen Hotchkiss. Ellen’s maiden name was Trumpeter which ties in with the Individual record for Richard Hotchkiss on your web site. Their address was listed as 8 Limerick Passage, Tipton.
-
Thomas [20] married Eliza Foster [20] 26/6/1893 at St. Marks Church, Oakenhill. There marriage certificate lists they were resident at Toll End, Tipton. Richard is listed as deceased.
-
From the 1901 census Thomas and Eliza had moved from Tipton to Huyton Quarry in Liverpool. Again, a misspelling of the surname. They were listed as Hodgkiss [which became a problem for my Grandfather later on]
-
They had three children listed .
John Edward [7]
Eliza [5]
Samuel [2]
They had three more children George [1905], May and Joseph [who was the youngest]
