That is fantastic thankyou for that - and it opens up
the Posnett side a little bit more for me
the 1911 stuff you have would be fantastic as well if you have it to hand
especially the Posnett side

Britgirl this is what iam trying to find out
the Joseph Ivey you talk of is my GG grandfather
but i have missing from Cornwall since 1881 then showing up in London 1901
so the lost years are what iam trying to trace - and in that is this wedding to Ellen Palmer, as i say unless in my searches i was mistaken
this is what iam trying to find out
What happened to Joseph Ivey between 1881 in Cornwall and 1901 when he turned up in London

Hi Deb
was wondering if there was every any conclusion to the
things that I came across Marriage to Ellen Palmer in March 1883 in Truro
to Joseph Ivey (sc239)
According to what I can find Ellen died in Truro in Sept 1895 (sc81)
that would explain why Joseph went to London
the rest stayed in Cornwall
Obviously it may not be Your Ellen - but it would be good to find out

On 20th October was the 90th anniversary of the Levant Mine disaster
and on the local West Country news they were talking about one chap William J Hocking - there are family members still in Penzance sorry I wasnt able to catch the names - but if this is Your Hocking then you will be able to find information by checking on google for the Levant Mine Disaster
Hope this helps

There is a exhibition in Falmouth regarding the Titanic sinking in 1912
app members of the Hocking Family survived, just wondering if any of those are from your clan?
