Any thoughts on the Correct surname?
« on: Monday 26 February 07 19:26 GMT (UK) »
I am having problems on this family when looking them up on the census, mainly because the spelling changes more often than my Grandsons change their socks !!!!!

HOLLICK/HOLLOCK/HULLOCK/HALLOCK/HALLOCH   !!!!!!

The 1st sighting of this family is on the 1851.   BIRMINGHAM.

THOMAS HALLOCK,31, Slater, b CUMBERLAND.
JANE HALLOCK, 31, wife, b YORKS.
John,3                   b B'ham
Ann,2                     b B'ham
William 1 month.    b B'ham.

Is this a  Cumberland surname, and if so what is the CORRECT spelling?

Many thanks,   Margaret.

Ther's never a correct spelling, just a conventional one.

Surname spellings become more standardised as one comes forward to present-day.
