Trying to find my Grandparents on My father side

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

James

James Report 2 May 2011 12:19

My Grandparents on my fathers side were Harry Wilcock and Elizabeth Wilcock (Nee Harland Stewart). Their children were Hilda Margret, George (my dad), Harry, Winnie, Elsie and Norman.

I believe they hail from Yorkshire. but have had no success in finding them. Unfortunately the memories of my older family members has faded and they are unable to give me any viable information to follow. I have been advised that the only way to continue my search is to start obtaining birth and death certificates, (an expensive option) So I would be grateful for any assistance I can get which will help me in this search.

Thanks

Derek Wilcock

Elizabeth's death which shows her birth date:
Name: Elizabeth Harland Wilcock
Birth Date: 3 Oct 1901
Death Registration Month/Year: Feb 1986
Age at death (estimated): 84
Registration district: Sunderland
Inferred County: Durham
Volume: 2
Page: 1866

Harry's death???
Name: Harry Wilcock
Death Registration Month/Year: 1953
Age at death (estimated): 53
Registration district: Sunderland
Inferred County: Northumberland
Volume: 1a
Page: 896

N.B. There were several Harry (Henry) Wilcock births registered 1899~1901 so you will need to obtain a copy of his marriage certificate to find who is shown to be his father. With that information hopefully you will be able to pinpoint the correct Harry on the 1901 and 1911 census records.

Given that Harry named one of his children George I would lay odds on his being born 1900 Jan Q Wharfedale Yorks 9a 147
1901 living Swinton Yorks with parents George and Susannah
But you do need the marriage cert to be sure
