Title: Edith M Hancock Born 1887 Lakawanna, Pennsylvania, USA
Post by: herbsnflowers on Tuesday 02 April 13 16:07 BST (UK)

Hi

I don't know if anyone would be able to help me or point me the right direction please.

I am trying to find out what the "M" stood for :  EDITH M HANCOCK

Edith was born 1887 in Lakawana her parents were Aaron Hancock (born 1855 in Blaenavon, Monmouthshire, Wales) and Emily Hancock (nee Steed).

They did not remain in the USA but returned to Wales.  Aaron was certainly back in Wales by 1890 and we think Emily had died.

I wondered if there were any birth records for Edith.   

I am trying to track Edith later in life (after 1901) but unfortunately there are a number of Edith M Hancocks in Monmouthshire, Wales, and I need to know I am tracking the right person.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks.

There are some Lackawanna County records on http://www.lackawannacounty.org.  No Hancocks on the birth index came up for me, but I'm not entirely sure I was doing it correctly.
