HOTCHKIN of Tixover

[grantleydawn]

I am interested in chatting with anyone who can help me validate the ancestry of the HOTCHKIN family of Tixover.

I descend from Mary Ann HOTCHKIN, daughter of Robert HOTCHKIN & Sarah.

She married Thomas AVELING on 28 Oct 1799 at St Mary, Stamford, Lincoln and had a family in Elm & Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire.

She next married Henry HAYNES on 4 Sep 1806 back at St Mary, Stamford, Lincoln and had a family in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire.

She is entombed with her husband's family in Whittlesey. Also is her mother "Sarah, relict of Robert Hotohkin, of Tixover, Rutland died June 11th 1828 aged 73 years".

She was the sister of Thomas HOTCHKIN;
"Obituary: 1843: Rutland - June 4. Aged 69, Thomas Hotchkin, esq. of Tixover House, Rutland, and Woodhall Lodge, Lincolnsh."

Hi antiquary,

Thank you for pointing that out. I forgot this posting existed.

Brian PALMER & I compared our research and now I have a very clear picture of the ancestry of Mary Ann HOTCHKIN.

You're welcome. I've only just signed up to this forum but thought it worth responding even though your query was so long ago. I'm glad to know your researches have been successful. Maybe others will find Brian Palmer's article interesting too.
