Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Waller Family, Todwick and Aston

« on: Saturday 24 October 09 08:25 BST (UK) »

Hi Wispymisty,

I will help if I can, although I have stopped researching the Waller family as the gentleman I was helping, sadly died last year.

I wll have a look through my notes though and see if I can find anything that might be of use to you. Can you give me a few more details ( PM me if you want to keep names etc private) as I know of at least 3 Walter Wallers.

Hope I can help.

Yes, please do send me your e-mail address, I would love to be able to get further back if we can, you never know.

Archelaus is a new one on me, although I have noticed that there were a lot of foreign, maybe Italian sounding names in the family, don't know why.

Will wait to hear from you.

Yes, I'm from Sheffield, I still live relatively locally. I try to get to the cemetery sometime in the spring.

I have been on Rosemary Lockie's site for other branches of the family but never for Hancocks so will take another look. Thanks

I think I read something similar about the mother if the Riley graves Hancocks going to live with her son in Sheffield in " The Histories and Antiquities of Eyam"

I will be happy to share more info about my side of the family by personal message if you like. I'm pretty amazed that I stumbled across this thread, I haven't done much research or looked at Rootschat for a very long time and yet when I decided to take a look, this was almost the first thing I saw.

Hope someone can help with Archelaus too!

I have found a lot on Sheffield Indexers too.

Form the Ecclesall burial records I found that George Hancock died in his son Samuel's house on Sherrington Rd in 1880 so he must have been living with them at the time.

My Gx3 grandfather was married to Emma Vickers, my line is through their son also called John. His son was my great-grandad and would, I suppose have been your Ethel's second cousin. So, yes, it does look like we have a connection - or probably quite a few

I normally try to get to Ecclesall All Saints at least once a year, I have never found many Hancock graves though.

Hi again,

Was your Samuel born around 1841 and lived on Sherrington Rd.

If so he was the brother of my Gx3 grandfather John Hancock. Their parents were George Hancock and Ann Dalton. Samuel and John's siblings were Selina, Ann, Mary and Henry, also possibly a George, but I haven't been able to find much about him.

I have details for George's parents but can't trace further back than that. Some of the family believed that they were related to the Hancocks of the Riley Graves at Eyam although I haven't found any evidence of this. My great-grandfather thought that they were actually from a little village called Windmill which isn't far from Eyam. Have you heard anything similar?

Hi

There are plenty of Lewis and Selinas in our line too.

I think the connection is in the Samuel - son of George and Ann generation but I can't remember the details off the top of my head. Will find out the relevant notes tomorrow and get back to you.

Hi Lil-Fox

I can't help with Archelaus but have connections to the Bents Green and Dore area Hancocks through two different sides of my dad's family.
