Terence Report 16 Mar 2017 15:24

Hi,I wondered if anyone could help?An elderly neighbour of mine asked for help in trying to trace her Father's family. She has a record of her father,William,who died aboard SS DAYROSE,in 1942 age 40.It says his parents were Edward and Elizabeth Hockborn of West Hartlepool and his wife was Ada Hockborn.
Unfortunately that's all she remembers of any family..I've been unable to find a record of them.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The earliest birth under Hockborn shows as 1929 - there are others since then.

I wonder if the family changed their name from something else if the Army records show William was born in Hartlepool?
