Title: Unusual person name.
Post by: mickmack1942 on Tuesday 22 April 25 14:03 BST (UK)

      Looking for an Anthony Austin and found this person in a fairly local area
      going by ...Fransiscus Antonius Hocksteffer, not what one would call local,
      I am wondering what that might be if it was translated to 1760 English.

Local to where? Was this from a document or record written in Latin? Likely Francis Anthony (or variations thereof) in "English."
FreeBMD doesn't bring up anyone with surname Hocksteffer but there is a Sarah Hockstetter in Newington (Surrey district) who died in 1838. Changed the 'k' to 'h' (Hochstetter) gives quite a few more results.
The old style double ss looks like ff so that's something else to consider- although no results on FreeBMD.

     This family was in Boxgrove  West Sussex, its just that in the past families
     anglicised there names to hide so I have read, as this family had a Anthony
     about the time and I have been unable to locate him in Sussex and other
     near by counties, I suppose its wish full thinking and go on rummaging in
     PR and poss the surname was mispronounced by the clergy of the time.

Anyway, according to this Ancestry tree it seems his surname could have been Hockstetter or Hochstetter.

I have been pruning his family tree on FS, 10 children but still haven't found his place of birth. Probably Germany.
