I would appreciate any information about a woman named Fannie Hockney
Carr. She was born in Grayingham, England, in 1864, a daughter of James
and Hannah Hockney. Siblings were named Frederick, and Lena (or Selina
or Telina).
I imagine she immigrated first to Wisconsin, since there were relatives
of her father there. My information is that she died in Virginia before
1923. I do not know her husband's Christian name. Her children were
named John, Fred, George, and Lydia.
I would be grateful for any help.

I am seeking information on Fannie Hockney who was born in 1864 in
Grayingham, England. Her father was James Hockney; mother's name was Hannah.
She married a Carr, probably in the United States. Children's names were
John Carr, Fred Carr, George Carr, and Lydia Carr. My information is that
she died in Virginia before 1923. Some of her realtives from England lived
in Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

I am searching for descendants of Watson Carr and his wife Fanny Hockney
Carr who went to Wisconsin from Lincolnshire, England, about 1890.
Watson, Fanny, and one son George A. were in Marion County, Florida in
the early 1800's. Other children were Lydia, Frederick J. and John W.
