Hi Alison

I have the Woodcock family info (woodcock is my maiden name) up to 1748 - william Woodcock c1748 and Jane Free 1748 they were born and married in Alvechurch. The Woodcocks moved out of Alvechurch in the early 1800's to live in Birmingham.
I have looked on my tree and I cannot find the name Fulford but I do know the Fulfords were from Alvechurch so I have checked the IGI records but cannot find any Fulfords married to a Woodcock as yet. I do not have a partner for the Harriet Woodcock 1814 Alvechurch - could this be your ancestor that was married to your Fulford???
Could you give me some more info on your woodcock and fulford ancestors ...Harriet Woodcock was Bruce Woodcocks Great Aunt...

Hi Alison

Was your great grand mother Harriet Woodcock born in 1814 in Alvechurch? If so then you are related to Bruce Woodcock as Harriets brother Thomas Woodcock 1820 who married Ann Edge were Bruce Woodcock's great Grandparents.
Thomas's son Samuel Woodcock 1851 from Wednesbury and Margaret Clark 1870 from Northumberland were Bruce's grandparents.They had a son called Samuel Woodcock 1897 who married Hilda Long 1900 both born in Balby Doncaster - were Bruce's parents. Bruce was born 18/01/1921 and died 21/12/1997 in Doncaster.He married Nora Speight and they had 2 children.
Bruce also had 2 brothers - Wiliam 1925 and Malcom 1926 who was also a boxer and he boxed under the name of Billy Carroll.
Harriet Woodcock was my 3rd great Aunt....
