Australia Lookups completed / Re: Wally HANCOCK
« on: Monday 27 December 10 06:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi Folks
This is all very interesting as my mother in law just asked me to look up what happen to her Uncle Walter Hancock who emigrated to Australia and became a welter weight boxing champ in the 1930. So I have the following to add, that Walter was the son of Ernest Edward Hancock and Edith (nee Mather), they can be found on the 1911 UK census at 23 Rockwood St, Keningston Liverpool and he had the following siblings at the time - Ernest Edward (b~1908) and John (b~1910). Later there was a sister Ethel, still working out the details - can anyone confirm this is Walter's family? I have not found brother Bertram yet to help with the connection and it looks like there was another Walter born in 1906 in Liverpool.
Thanks
Becky
