Sorry not to give full details as I am in a rush BUT ...

Not sure if this fits with the Drawcock Threekingham cum Stowe Green lot or not !

1851 census HO 107/2101 f 335 p1
Robert Grocock aged 49 b Stowe unm Ag Lab working for a George Thorpe In Threekingham

Gives his birthplace as Threekingham in 1861 and in 1871 is blind annuitant living with his sister (1881 gives sis-in-law) Jane born 1816/7 Bardney and some of her family.

Going back to 1861 Jane is the wife of Thomas Grocock, a tailor,  born 1798/9 Swarby - and the visitor in the entry, another Robert, born Threekingham 1841/2, also a tailor, is actually Thomas and Jane's son.

Relatives of your William??

Thanks. I looked at JH's in earlies censuses and at familysearch but there were no clues as to the right individual.  I vaguely remember another Julia Hindley turning up Lancashire when I was searching for my Julia Ann, so will go back and check on her age and marital status in case she could be a relative. It has also just occurred to me to try prison records.

IGI gives Mark Monk marr 10 Jun 1843 St Martin in the Field to Eliza Brown.

I had a few hours in London earlier this year but couldn't locate the correct registers - had to keep trying on a bad internet connection and ran out of time. However, I think Westminster archives might have them.

Mark was in St Andrew's Holborn parish in 1841 census, St. Pancras in 1851, was visiting his brother, Abraham in Aston, Warwicks. in 1861 and moved to New Bradwell, Bucks by 1871. He was a coachmaker who eventually got work making railway coaches. Thanks.

Can anyone help please with the two marriages of Caroline, d of Francis (1790 - 1850) and Mary Ann nee Raper (1799 - 1868) of Hull.

1. to ......? Wood, son Joseph born 1855 Sculcoates district and in 1861 he and his mother, a widow, are at 37 St John's Place, Albert Street, Sutton.

2. to James Hindley, daughter Julia Ann born 1865/6 Hull (but I can't find her birth registration) and son, James William born 1869.  James Hindley died in 1882. I wonder if they did actually marry as I cannot find anything much about James.

I have all the census entries for her and details of her and her Cousins family except for Julia Ann's birth reg and JA's whereabouts in the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses. In 1911 she is with her brother, single, and a domestic servant  so perhaps was "renamed" by her employers whilst working? Thanks.

I have an Elsby in my family tree but a long way back. However, you may be interested...
My Elizabeth Elsby/Hellsby was the dau of a William bapt 7 Mar 1718 in Frodsham Cheshire and married George Proffet/Prophet whose family was also from that parish. However, they both appear in Haslington, just down the road from Sandbach, by the 1730's. It was suggested to me that perhaps the Crewe family of Crewe Hall had something to do with families moving across the county. Good luck with your research!
