Find Ancestors

hi all hoping someone can help, am looking for parents of george william hancock born 1886c bradford on avon, wilts.
his wife was elizabeth roberts, he died circa 1938 wiltshire any help appreciated thanks

Did his M/C not give you his Dads name

havnt got mc this is what i have been given by relatives but they are not sure. i dont think they married as such but the person i was getting info from unfortunately died end of last year. he was direct grandson

Possible for death??

Name: George W Hancock
Death Registration Month/Year: 1942
Age at death (estimated): 59
Registration district: Devizes
Inferred County: Wiltshire
Volume: 5a
Page: 237

thats the right area as its definatlely wiltshire, i was given melksham which isnt far from devizes

Do you have names for any of his children that may help to identify him, perhaps on the 1911 cenus? Do you know his occupation please?

yes their names are as follows
herbert b1902
rosina b1903

sorry mis queued
after rosina came
frances b1906
harriet b 1910
leonard b 1911
there was also gladys which i have just found out b 1901
all born in bath, somerset

If hewas born 1886 as you suggest that makes him 15 when Gladys was born -possible but unlikely

I wonder about this one
Georg William Hancock baptised 10/11/1879 Corsham Wilts son of Thomas Wiliam and Jane. You will find him with them in the 1881 and 1891 census and on his own as a boarder aged 22 as G W Hancock

Maybe your years of birth are not quite accurate?

Herbert Henry b 1902 Dec Q Bath
Rosina Violet I K b1903 Dec Q Bath
Francis William b 1909 Dec Q Bath
Leonard G b 1911 Dec Q Bath

The only Gladys I can find is 1903 Sep Q which would not be possible if Rosina is correct above

Nothing adds up.

I have checked out the names I listed above in 1911 and can find none of them with a George and Elizabeth so back to the drawing board

I found the same thing,Gillian. It's too bad Leonard was born so late in 1911!

The above search of the 1911 census gives 3 results - 1 one that MaureeninNY has posted, and Arthur George and this one.

HOUSEHOLD HANCOCK WILLIAM GEORGE M 1884 27 Chippenham Wiltshire

Could he have reversed his Christian name and middle name?

I'd forgotten:
http://www.bathbmd.org.uk/cgi/birthind.cgi?county=bath

These 2 have Roberts as mmn.
HANCOCK Rosina Violet Ivy Kate Batheaston Bath ROBERTS BEA/27/264

HANCOCK Harriet Irene Walcot - First Series Bath ROBERTS WL1/66/395
Wonder if Irena is Harriet Irene?

hi guys
thanks for help so far george william hancock b1886 bradford on avon, wilts. d 1938c melksham, wilts
elizabeth roberts b 1880 westbury wilts. d1938 devizes, wilts.
full names of children are
glady`s b 1901 bath
herbert b 1902 bath
rosina violet ivy kate b1903 bath
frances mabel b1906 bath
harriet irene b 1910 bath
leonard george b 1911 bath

hi maureen
you have the right roberts family but cannot find a marriage for george and eliza, i think glady`s was born prior to marriage but i think the marriage year was 1903
unfortunately my final contact with person who may have known was john hancock born to frances mabel hancock who`s fathers name was saunders (possibly) but he died before xmas last year. frances married herbert clifford after john was born and they had three more children
dave

gladys was the first child of eliza to george

Confusing!
So,the 1911 group seems to be the correct family.
