Might be a long shot but....
On the 1851 census for Wolviston, Durham
HO107; Piece: 2384; Folio: 68; Page: 37
there is a Thomas Alcock aged 8 months, grandson born in Staffordshire
at the home of William Bone aged 46
There is a daughter called Jemima Bone aged 21.  I noticed one of Thomas Alcock's children is called Jemima

I don't think this is a long shot. I have seen an Alcock family tree online which includes a Jemima Bone... thank you so much. I'll need to investigate this further.

[ChrissieL]

I noticed that although Jemima has the surname 'Bone' on the 1851 census entry, she did in fact marry a John Alcock in 1949  1849 in Stockton on Tees

It looks like Jemima may have died in 1858 

[pergamond]

I've found a John Alcock with wife Jemima and family in 1881, but John was a shipwright, and Jemima was born about 1836 in Sunderland, Durham. In the 1851 census Jemima was born about 1830 in Wolviston, Durham.

[pergamond]

I've looked for deaths for John Alcock prior to 1874, but none of the ones I found were tailors.

[pergamond]

If I ordered the 1849 marriage for John Alcock and Jemima Bone, is it likely to give the occupations?

[BumbleB]

Yes, it should give you John's occupation, plus probably the occupations of the two fathers.
