My great grandmother was Alice Rebecca Pocklington. I'm told she was connected to the famous baking family yet I cannot find any links even though she was from Louth.
Can anyone help? She was born 1889 and died in Louth in 1953.
I'm related to the other famous bakers the Myers but have at long last found the link!

Hi
According to this, the bakery was founded in 1924 by Cyril Pocklington, so you are going to have to work forward rather than backwards. He was the son of James Pocklington, so that might be a good place to start looking from.

I have Cyril's family tree and Alice's. It would seem that I am going to have to add on a lot more children in order to connect them.

Your Alice and Cyril are 6th cousins 1 time removed, Alice is my 9th cousin 3 times removed and Cyril my 4th cousin 3 times removed :)
The Pocklington's have been traced back to c1489 to a Robert Pocklington.

Thanks breakfree! I appreciate that.
Have you a tree online anywhere? I'm doing the connection manually at the moment.
-
Buck, no sorry i never bothered putting a tree online - i found that when other family members have done it that others have simply just taken their research without any communication or anything and then when they have done so they have gone and mis-reported certain things without getting things straight.
I too had to do the manual research thing - its taken an eon or two but its been fun researching Lincolnshire, i recently had some cousins from New Zealand visit there and they loved it.
-
Ok mate! I'm on ancestry but still haven't managed to put the link in place. I'm sure I will get there in the end. Thanks for your reply.
-
haha I see you are down with the down under lingo there :p
you'll find there are several cousins there that have trees on ancestry, so you will find what you're after there :)
-
Got connected! Cyril is my 5th cousin five times removed. So I guess you are a cousin too!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
-
pleased to read it, yes we are quite distantly related, but cousins nonetheless :)
i hope this finds you well

Hi, yes very well thanks and I've managed to fill many gaps in my Pocklington line.
I've actually been in touch with the current proprietor of The bakery Chris Pocklington too.

I'm a bit late on this one but I wonder if a branch of your Pocklington family were involved with Heckington mill? http://www.heckingtonwindmill.org.uk/the-mills-history.html
-
Hi Ian,
Yes the Heckington Mill does pop up in our line there somewhere - cant quite recall who exactly off the top of my head but it does ring a bell definitely.
cheers

Hi Richard,
Let me know if you need more on the Heckington Pocklingtons and I'll see what I can do.
Cheers, Ian.

We are related to John Pocklington who is of Heckington Windmill. John is my 5th cousin 5 times remoned.
Incidentally, the mill didnt have eight sails until he took some of Skirbeck mill.
-
Bit off topic I know but the Pocklingtons took over the mill from my Nash Ancestors ( Sleightholme Nash was my 4XGreatgrandfather who did the mill no good I fear )

Hi, I. Hoping someone can help me!
Are you all referring to Pocklingtons of Lincolnshire? Maybe Brothertoft?
I'm researching my family history and has you all know it's not easy at times...does anyone or has anyone come across the name Zebedee Black in their tree? Info tells me his father is Thomas Pocklington? Mother Mary Black...
Thank you ; ))
-
sorry Julie, no Zebedee Black or Mary Black amongst my mob (yes Lincolnshire Pocklington :), what is the timeframe you are looking at there?
cheers
Richard
-
Oh no! My Zebedee was baptised in the year 1800...states father Thomas Pocklington mother Mary Black..
Brothertoft Lincolnshire....I thought I may meet some lucky person who has researched it all already! Haha

I have transcribed Brothertoft for my own use. What I have is Zebedee POCKLINGTON son of Thomas Pocklington and Mary Black of Kirton 13.4.1800.
