Hi, I am pretty sure I am linked to this Bocock line. My great great great grandfather is Robert Bocock. He had my great great grandfather William Bocock (born 29th July 1854 and he was the one who immigrated to New Zealand on the boat " Halcione in 1875. He was married to Betsy Ann Smith.
My mother was a Bocock.
Would love any information you may have if this is the same linked Bocock family.
I am very new to all this family tree stuff.
Regards
Lesley

The eldest William was living at Irby-upon-Humber at the time of the 1841 Census (HO 107/638 4 Irb.-u-H 37/4) where he is described as an 85 years old agricultural labourer). William died the following year and was buried on 20 AUG 1842 at Irby-upon-Humber.
1.Does anyone feel they may be related to any of my Bocock ancestors?
If so, I have more information to share.
2. Does anyone know when and where WILLIAM BOCOCK was born, and who his parents were ?
