Dear Sue
Sincere apologies for the delay in writing back.
According to the funeral account of my gg grandfather, James HOCKEY from the South Wales Argus, dated Nov 1912, James and his wife Charlotte (nee REES)moved from Bridgwater, Somerset to Newport, Mon in 1853. All their children were born in Newport, so that tallies. All my HOCKEY relatives lived in Newport to start with, before moving out to farm at Llanvair Discoed. I'm not sure there's any connection with your family.
However, Charlotte REES was born in Bristol, so maybe there's something I haven't come across yet.
Best wishes
Sally
