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)
 * 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)
