| We knew virtually nothing about the families who lived at Coldrey until we heard from Ron Jones in New Zealand. He sent us some photographs from the descendants of James Hockley who worked at Coldrey from 1859 to 1924. Working from the 1901 Census - Coldrey was not included with Froyle until then - and from Ron’s notes, we think we have the correct names for the people. |

| Miss Jessie J Duncan | We believe this is likely around 1901 and we think it is that of Mr John W Duncan and his sister Miss Jessie J Duncan (their respective ages in 1901 were 44 and 41 years). The back of the picture reads “Hop fields at Coldrey where James (Hockley) worked. Two of the family owners.” | Miss Jessie J Duncan with her horse and trap outside Coldrey around 1900 |

Mr.George Duncan and his daughter Miss Jessie Duncan. In the 1881 Census he is recorded thus: George Duncan, a widower, born in Scotland, his age 63, a ship owner and ship broker in London. A farmer of 455 acres, employing 16 men 6 boys. |
