I saw your post. I saw the name while looking for my gg grandmother. I found it on Ceskearchivy which is a very well put together site. The parish register of births for BLATNA. 8 Aug 1861. christened the next day 9 Aug 1861. Augustin Hockr. His father, Vacslav Hockr (son of Vacslav Hockr and Marie ?Duska.) and his mother, Barbora, (daughter of Mateje Lisky and Lidmily Koubek)

It is in the Blatna 1860-1878 book number 9 on page 27 at the bottom. See for yourself but I have a gut feeling that this is your ancestor you are looking for. :)

The city is Blatna in the Strakonice district.

Good luck
Mike
