Pictures of places and people associated with the Hiscock family. Please click on the picture for a larger version. See also Wareham pictures for some common photos with that branch.
Lyde Hill Farm, Woodville, Stour Provost, Dorset
This is Lyde Hill Farm where Edwin and Anne Hiscock (great grandparents x3) lived and were recorded in census' 1851 to 1871. In 1881 Elijah Hiscock, Edwin and Anne's eldest son, was running the farm. My great (x2) grandfather Francis Rogers Hiscock was raised here.
Woodville Cottage, Stour Provost, Dorset
This is Woodville Cottage which is just opposite Lyde Hill Farm. Edwin Hiscock retired here and is recorded as living here in the 1881 census. The cottage is next to the school to which Edwin made a contribution when it was being built.
Violet Wareham (nee Hiscock)
This is my grandmother, Violet. The photograph was taken in the front room of 13 Christys Lane in Shaftesbury and the child is my cousin Rebecca. I think it was taken in about 1981/2, a year or two before my nan passed away.
Francis and Walter Harris
Pictures of the grandsons of Francis and Emily Hiscock in the form of postcards to their family from France. Francis Harris died aged 19 21/8/1916 and his brother Francis aged 19 on 22/3/1918. See the commonwealth War Graves Commission website for details. I hope publishing this picture on this website acts as commemoration to these two young men and the thousands of others cut down in their prime.
Charles Harris and wife Edith Emily (ne Hiscock)
This photo was apparently taken at a wedding anniversary.
Francis Rogers and Emily Hiscock?
This photo has almost certainly been confirmed as that of Francis and Emily Hiscock. This would probably have been taken not long before Francis died, late 1890's or the turn of the century.
Ryman family?
We think this may be Emily Hiscock's family the Ryman's from Sixpenny Handley in Dorset. It could be - back row Emily's father James, sister Ellen, Emily. Middle row brother Edwin, mother Sarah, grandfather Edward, grandmother Sarah. Front row sister Fanny, brother John sister Eliza. It could have been taken around 1872/3 given the ages of the young children. As with the photo above this is not confirmed and any help anyone can give in removing doubt would be welcome.
Francis Rogers Hiscock
This is a copy of a copy of a photo of my great great grandfather. The photo is probably of him sometime between 1880 and 1890. I am trying to get hold of a better copy of the photo but it gives a good impression of his appearance.
Robert Hiscock
My great grandfather Robert Hiscock and his second wife Frieda (?). In a traditional Hiscock setting with beer glass in hand!
Ethel Sophia Hiscock (nee Kelly)
My great grandmother and Robert's first wife.
Robert Hiscock
Robert again in his 80's in his garden at his home in Wimborne.
Francis Rogers Hiscock
Outside the Rose and Crown pub in Wimborne Francis is the figure in front of the huge tree trunk. This may have been in the 1880's after Francis and Emily returned from the USA and when he worked in the timber trade. Whether this was before or during their time at Rookery Farm is unclear. I have a larger scan of this picture, please contact me if you want me to send it to you.
