I am not sure where to put this post. Last seen in 1891 with his mother Mary A at Barncoose Terrace .Illogan,Cornwall. There is Joseph Southy Hancock from Illogan Highway in 1898 travelling to Western Australia from Illogan Highway with a number of other men from Illogan Highway. Although Joseph is illegitimate as is his sister Mary Ellen. Mary Ellen has the middle name Southy. Unforunately there is also a Joseph Hancock age 39 going to Michigan,USA in 1906. He is living at Pool. I have no idea if they are the person that I am looking for. Pool,Illogan and Barncoose Terrace are neighbouring areas.
Joseph Southey Hancock Gender - Male Declaration Age - 51 Record Type - Naturalization Declaration Birth Date - 12th Oct 1868 Birth Place - Logan, England Departure Place - Southampton, England Residence Place - Washington Declaration Date - 26 May 1919 Ship - New York Court - District Court Occupation - Blacksmith Sailed - 1st Dec 1906 He arrived Ellis Island, New York on or about 8th Dec 1906 Age at arrival - 39 He was residing at Victoria Hotel, 2nd Avenue, Seattle, Washington @ declaration in 1919. Actually you can see his declaration form on family search if you are logged in (right hand page) Code: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99VW-FGZ?i=250&cc=2296985&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQGPL-SH64
I can see that there is a Joseph Hancock born 1868 with mother Hancock and also a Joseph Southey Hancock born 1868 with mother Hancock.
So Joseph S Hancock sailed to Western Australia and then changed his mind and sailed to the USA a few years later? FMP newspaper has the details of the Australia trip and Cornwallopc the deatils of the USA trip. Is there anyway of finding Joseph S Hancock returning to the UK?
Joseph Hancock born 1869 and not 1868. Both Redruth district and mothers are Hancock. It is possible that the 1869 Joseph died in 1869 age 0. So that leaves Joseph Southey Hanock. Is it possible that Joseph Southey Hancock's mother added the father's name? If so ,where is the Southey family?
there was a mine Captain called Joseph Southey, married Mary Ann Lucasin 1863 in Illogan could be a candidate for father, he died in 1874
Mary Ann worked in a mine. I found Joseph Southey an infant death in 1865 and his father was Joseph Southey living at Pool. Mary Ann was living at Pool in 1861.
The document showing Joseph S Hancock going to Western Austrailia is on FMP. Left Plymouth 1898 Destination is Albany (King George Sound . Full name in the 28th January 1898 Cornubian and Redruth Times newspaper. Did he return home or go to the USA from Australia. I am having diffuculty finding a passenger list of him returning to the UK at the moment.
Does it show his full name in the newspaper. A Joseph S Hancock arrived in Albany on the RMS Ormuz 25/2/1898. He could have then travelled overland to other destinations. Unfortunately our National Archives are down so I can’t follow any other information for now.
Found on 1910 census, living in Belleview, Crowley Arizona, single a blacksmith in mine and emigrated in 1906. Age 41.
The newspaper had his full name. I looked at the passenger list and Joseph was a passenger in 1906 departing Southampton and going to the US and he was meeting a friend named Robert P Mills. So ,he returned to the UK from Australia at some point. Looking at the census for Robert P Mills I found him living in the same area in 1881 and 1891 as Joseph in Cornwall.
I haven't a subscriptionfor ancestry but there is a Joseph Handcock arrival London. I can't read any information. I wonder if this is anything to do with Joseph Hancock.
