benjamin bocock

[mdb]

I am  looking for information about benjamin bocock born about 1800 probably in Kirton in Lindsay. In the 1841 census his address was Glandford Brigg Union workhouse with his son John Tranfield. He died there in 1842. I think his wife was Martha and his father a William Bocock but have no firm evidence to support either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks mdb

Could this be him

with his son John Tranfield

John Tranfield Boacock September qtr 1857   Glanford Brigg  7a  568

Is there any significance to the Tranfield name - was it perhaps a maiden name?

The IGI has a marriage in 1829 in Calverley to Mary Goldsbrough but I don't know if this is the right Benjamin

And also this baptism

Hi Carole
Thanks for the replies. It seems that Benjamin's parents are William and Susanna. There is a record of a William Bocock marrying a Susannah Oxley in 1799 and a further record in the 1841 census of a William and Ann Bocock. Ann could be shortened from Susannah. The other record of Hannah Bocock makes Martha her mother so this could also be John T's mother. I have since found a death for Martha Boacock in 1839 which could account for the workhouse. However there is a branch of the Bococks which are spelt Boacock so I'm hoping that the records I've got are for the right line of the family.
I don't know anything about the Tranfield name, it does seem highly likely it's a family name but I shall need to do more digging.

Hello,
Just found this thread.
My 4G Grandfather was John Tranfield Bocock.
The family moved to Doncaster and then Mansfield and beyond...
Didn't have a wife or parents for Benjamin - so very useful - thanks.
