Thomas William (1) was with his parents in the 1881 Census. He subsequently joined the army's Royal Artillery regiment and served in India, as evidenced by the following newspaper report in The Bury Free Press of his death there in 1894:
November 3rd 1894
Deaths. Hogger on October 6th at Barrackpore, India. Gunner Thomas Hogger of the 43rd Field Battery R.A., 2nd son of Spencer and Ann Hogger of Shimpling aged 25 years.

The 1891 Census finds Herbert Edward (1) in Water Street, Lavenham occupied as a blacksmith and described as a visitor in the household of William Mills (and wife Sarah Ann), whose connection is unknown. In 1899 he married Mary Elizabeth Richardson in 1899 [Marriage Index: Pancras 1b 56, 1899 (Dec)]. She was born in Clerkenwell around 1870-71 - her GRO birth reference is probably [Birth Index: Pancras 1b 74, 1870 (Dec)] or [Birth Index: Holborn 1b 615, 1871 (Sept)]. The 1901 Census finds them living at 44, Ludwick Road in Deptford St. Paul where he was occupied as a farrier and blacksmith.
Harry George (1) married Henrietta Gooch Debenham in 1899 [Marriage Index: Sudbury 4a 1552, 1899 (Dec)].

Arthur William (1) was living with his parents in the 1881 and 1891 Censuses. The 1901 Census possibly finds him at age "22" living in the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich where he was serving as a gunner. The schedule spells his full name accurately but gives his birthplace as Ireland. This may well have been an enumeration error made when copying from the regiment's own records, since the schedule shows another Arthur also born in Ireland a few lines above his.
An infant Frederick John Hogger was buried at age 9 weeks on August 10th 1881 at St. George's in Shimpling [National Burial Index]. The GRO reference is [Death Index: Sudbury 4a 317, 1881 (Sept)].
