William Hancock
« on: Monday 05 March 18 17:05 GMT (UK) »
Hello, my name is Fred.  I am trying to find info on William Hancock( spelling may vary) who was born about 1920-1925 in Ireland and lived with my Aunt Ellen in Elsecar, Yorkshire in 1945.  He might have been a coal miner.  TYVM for looking.

it's possible there could be more registered in Northern Ireland after 1922

Thank You for both replies.  I've done the "usual suspect"searches & was hoping someone might have him in their tree. Unfortunately, I don't have a spelling or any 2nd names. Cheers,  Fred

Once again, Thank you.  I'm new to all this and need to learn a lot, fast.  The previous reply gave me William & Margaret's wedding and had William resident in Dumbarton so they may have emigrated and then come back for this wedding??
