Hi to all from Australia,
My great, great Grandfather came to Australia with 4 of his children in the 1870s. I've done okay from this end but my interest lies with the family of Hugh Hosking, of St Erth, married to Mary Ann Tresize in 1826. Look forward to sharing info with other members.
Carol.

Hello Carol - and WELCOME.  I will need to do some checking of my information given the last update occurred in 2001. However, here is what I currently have recorded. Hugh HOSKING was born as Hugh COLLICK, illegitimate son of Catherine COLLICK and was baptised at St Erth 18th January 1795. Hugh married Grace MOLLARD at Lelant 10th October 1818 but I have, at the moment, no record of any children for them. It appears that Grace died sometime before 1826 which was when Hugh (now known as HOSKING) married Mary Ann TREZISE. Hugh appears to have been buried at St Erth 8th April 1870 at the age of 74 but I am yet to find a Death/Burial for Mary Ann. I can say that Mary Ann was still living in 1881 at Phillack as an 'annuitant'. By my reckoning Hugh and Mary Ann had 10 children of whom the first I know was Henry in 1828 at St Erth. The last I have recorded was Annie Louisa at St Erth who was born 12th October 1853 and baptised 16th January 1854 (of Porthcollumb) at St Erth. The name of Hugh's second daughter is interesting - Elizabeth TREVASKIS Hosking bp. 2nd August 1829 at St Erth. Their fourth child was baptised 4th May 1834 at St Erth as John COLLICK so we are dealing with a complex situation here. Hope this helps and look forward to any information you can add that might help me sort the situation. Ian |

Done a little digging and found the ten children you have - only Edwin apears to have died young unless he went to Illogan where there is a 15 yr old in 1861. On St Erth site I found the following: bap 15 Apr 1808 Mary Torsize d/o John & Elizabeth married 5 may 1807 John Tresize & Elizabeth Trevaskis bap 19 Sep 1784 Betsey Trevascus d/o Henry & Jane married 23 July 1775 Henry Trevascus & Jane Simons bap 22 June 1750 Jane Symons to Edmund & Rebekah bap 11 July 1779 John Tresise s/o Francis & Elizabeth bap 30 Jun 1734 Francis Tresize s/o Adrian & Honour from Cornwall opc database: Married 3 Apr 1776 Francis Tresize (of St Erth) & Elizabeth Hoskin at Paul from IGI Henry Trevascus bap 22 Feb 1745 Gwinear s/o John & Christian Will all need to be verified but could well be who you are looking for |

Now for the pure speculation:
bap St Erth 1 May 1776 Catherine Hosking d/o Andrew and Mary
married 17 July Ludgvan Andrew Hosking & Mary Vellanoweth
Bap 4 Apr 1735 St Uny, Lelant Andrew Hosking s/o Andrew & Catherine. (I like this possibility not just because she is the right age for Catherine Collick but also because Hugh named one of his sons Andrew.) What do you think?
Back to St Erth:
To Hugh Collick & Elizabeth (unknown) three offspring:
Elizabeth 1766, Richard 1768, Elizabeth 1770.
Either Hugh or his son Richard could have been the father of Hugh Collick/Hosking. I can find no other records for them at the moment but there are Collicks at St Erth again later in 19th C.

Thankyou 'londoner' and I will make an attempt to work through this information in about 12-15 hours. Food, movie and sleep are the current priorities but we also have a Total Fire Ban today so I could get called out at any time. The other problem I will probably have is that I will be called in to work given the only other paid staff-member is now off sick.  It is probable that I will have to 'fill the void'. Ian |

Thanks guys, this is amazing! Grace Mollard was buried 1819 St Hilary. Mary Ann 1897 in Hayle. Mary Ann's mother was a Trevaskis hence Elizabeths middle name. Hugh's first 4 children were born Hosking alias Collick. What does this mean and why did he changed his name??? Was Hugh the base born child of Catherine Collick or just Catherine??? This would be important because I like both of Londoner's speculations and have played around with them for ages but feel like I'm going in circles.
I have Hugh & Mary Ann's 10 children (can"t believe Ian found them so quick). Londoner's 1881 Mary Ann 'annuitant' is a different one- followed her for a long time as she had children of the same name too. The Catherine ?/Catherine Collick is my big stumbling block. Any help appreciated and hope I can return the favour. Thanks heaps, Carol.

How did I find them all so quickly - elementary my dear Carol.  Years ago I received copies of the Transcripts of the St Erth Parish Registers and began putting families together - hence I had the family of Hugh and Mary Ann already in my database. ;D Have no further information on Catherine Collick at the moment but will try to pursue it. BTW - where in Oz are you.  I live in Chiltern in North East Victoria. Talk to you soon, Ian PS - that Trevaskis/Trevascus name is also of interest and might provide some clues. |

Not a problem my friend.
Keep posting and let us see what we can find for us all.
You may have noticed via other threads that I now have a few contacts 'around the place' so just let me know what you need and I will try to search it out for you.
More satisfaction for you if you can find things for yourself but I am willing to help and also to guide you should that be needed.
But I must say that with a lot of these queries I like to pursue at least part of them myself.
My cousin in Cornwall gave me the nickname Cornish Terrier about 12-13 years ago because she reckoned that once I got my 'teeth' stuck into something I would not let go.
She was probably right because I do like to find solutions and I often (basically) tear apart scenarios to find a correct answer.
Another way to phrase this last is that, should I have a question about any part of a particular scenario, I will question it and try to find alternatives that would match the outcome.
I have been wrong a few times but I must also admit to having been right on many occasions - and this includes my own direct lineage where I have had to correct myself. (Took myself out back and had very stern words with myself. ;D)
Enough of my ramblings as I really do need to get to bed.
BTW - I am a long term Essendon supporter. ;D
Ian
