Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Kitto relations

in 2010(!) an IP added that "Through his mother he was related both to the biblical scholar John Kitto, and to HDF Kitto, the eminent professor of Greek" with a footnote saying that "Hocking's mother and Kitto's grandfather were siblings, making them second cousins once removed". To which Kitto does the latter refer? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:07, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

According to the ODNB "He was the third son of James Hocking, part owner of a tin mine, and his wife, Elizabeth Kitto, who was related to John Kitto, author of The Pictorial Bible, and who came of one of the oldest Cornish families." According to Pulp Methodism: The Lives and Literature of Silas, Joseph & Salome Hocking, Three Cornish Novelists by Alan M. Kent, Silas always claimed a connexion, but "despite considerable investigation, it has been impossible to precisely pin it down". DuncanHill (talk) 17:03, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
