Looking for HITCHCOCK of Lincoln England.
My Grandmother's father was Arthur Hitchcock who died aged 85 in Lidcombe, N.S.W. Australia.(18.6.1936) He came to Australia from Lincoln, England according to his death certificate.
Arthur's parents were Simeon Hitchcock and Eliza Drake.
Arthur married Mary Ann Martin in Sydney, N.S.W. Australia. They had 7 children one of which was my grandmother Clara Hitchcock.
I was told that Clara was Alfred Hitchcock's cousin but haven't found a link yet? Can anyone help?

These were all born after civil registration began and so it should be possible to get copies of their birth certificates.
I found on the web that ALFRED Hitchcock was born 1899,the son of East End greengrocer William Hitchcock and his wife Emma, if that helps?
You may be able to find out how to get a look at the Lincoln parish registers by going on:
good luck................
Thank you mowsehouse very much.
Interesting that he named two of his daughters Eleanor and Clara after his sisters which of course wasn't unusual in those days.
Thanks also for the web link, I will give it a go.
Arthur Hitchcock arrived Aus per Storm King
he married 1 Mary Ann Hines
2 Mary Ann Gordon.
Was Arthur married to Mary Ann Hines in England? I have a copy of his marriage certificate to Mary Ann Martin (her mother was Mary Ann Gordon) and on that it states he was a widower. This was in Sydney, Australia.
Thank your for your information.
