General Notes:

Elizabeth's birth was the cause of some celebration in the Hocking household. Ezekiel and Mary Anne had had six sons, and one daughter who had died at just eight months old, before Elizabeth arrived. Ezekiel, who was known as Zake, celebrated her birth in fine form at the pub that night. As he was a little under the weather when he the pub, he asked John Bromley for assistance in getting home. John was only too happy to help out provided Ezekiel "signed the pledge" (to abstain from alcohol) which he duly did. In a quaint twist of fate, Elizabeth was to marry John Bromley's son, John Dargo Bromley in 1894.
