FINCH / WILCOCK Connection c.1640
« on: Friday 13 July 07 07:25 BST (UK) »
G'day,....
There is assumed to be a strong connection between the Finch family and the Wilcock family  between  the years of 1560  and 1700 in the area around  Rivington ( or Chorley).
There were apparently business associations and marriages  at this time.
Any information , please.
Would be appreciated.   Thanks   Brian
Wilcock  ( Wilcox)  in Chorley, Rivington ,   and a separate line in Lancaster, Wray, Melling
Stables Lancashire and Furness,      Southworth ,  Finch in  Wigan and Bolton areas,
Bradley  ,              Sharrock ,    
Bradley in Mass.  U.S.A.

Hi Wozzle.....    thanks for that,  it is helpful.
I started off looking for a Roger Finch married to an Elizabeth Wilcock,  but no such luck yet., 
Thanks for your effort.... Brian.

In my family, there was an Ann Finch married a Wilcock many years ago, and in the resulting family, the names Finch and Lawrence were passed down from father to son.
My grandfather and grandmother were from Lancashire and moved to Burton on Trent to run The Burton Box Company in Branston, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire. My dad was Finch Wilcock and his brother was Lawrence. Their older sister was called Ella. I don't know if this helps. :)
