George Hobson

[Jumbuck]

Hello everyone, along with a series of old photos I bought recently I found quite a number relating to the family HOBSON of Blackrock, Cork, Ireland and later in Melbourne Australia c:1905. There are also photos of Blackrock Castle and surrounds. If anyone has an interest in the HOBSON family please let me know.

Kind Regards

Peter Euston

Peter,
This is my family. My grandfather was George Ernest Hobson, from Blackrock, Cork. His father (I believe) was John Walter. I have been able to find out so little about them. Anything you have I'd be grateful for. Thank you very much.
Best wishes,
Richard

I'm a Hobson from England, I have been told we have Irish heritage. All our first born Sons have Bogan as a middle name. I now know why.
