There's a death for a Peter Hyland HOSKING in Scarborough, WA on 1/3/1985 aged 58 but age is not quite right.

Just found this online - a brother to Jenneth HOSKING nee COULCHER, who died in Western Australia:

Marriage: 19 JUL 1927 in Covent Garden, London
Spouse:

Mother: Habekost, Altha Maria

The family arrived in Fremantle on Xmas Day 1940 aboard Charon, from Singapore. Leonora and the two children returned at some point, coming back to Fremantle in Jan 1942.

Their youngest son is married and living in Perth, I can send you the details if you like by PM.


I wonder if Altha & Jenneth HABEKOST were sisters?

Death for Jenneth Buchanan HOSKING, aged 71, shows her as daughter of Arthur COULCHER and Jenneth HABEKAST (reg 26875).

No siblings deaths found.

Hi All
I am looking for information regarding Jenneth Buchannan Coulcher born 18/08/1905 in Singapore, she died in 1976 in Australia. Jenneth was married to Harry Leonard Hosking b.1899 (my great uncle) they had three children that I know of called Peter b. 1931 in Singapore, Patricia b. 1932 in Singapore and William b. 1927 poss in Singapore. I would love to know what happened to the children - I believe that after Harry died they went to Australia where some of Jenneth's extended family lived. If anyone has any information or are researching the same family I would really appreciate any help going.
Thanks

:-) :-) :-)
