Thomas Edward Hockley - North West Mounted Police
The North West Mounted Police was
established in 1873 to bring Canadian authority to the North West
Territories (present-day Alberta and Saskatchewan). Its jurisdiction grew to
include the Yukon in 1895, the Arctic Coast in 1903 and northern Manitoba in
1912.

I have a subscription to the Paper of Records
website http://www.paperofrecord.com/
and while searching for information on a cousin, John Hockley Thorne, who went
to the Klondike and never returned; I found the following details about another
Hockley. Is this your Hockley family?
