Hi
I have just come across this post and have read it with great interest.
My husband is a Bocock born in Scunthorpe. John Tranfield is his great, great grandfather. I have never been sure about his wife believing it to be either Sarah Kirgarth or Sarah Corringham Woodhead. His father Benjamin was born around 1800 and died in Brigg Union workhouse. His father was William and I think had 2 marriages firstly to Susannah Oxley and then to Ann Blanchard. The spelling of Bocock varies a good deal and I’m not always sure if I’m following the same line! Geoff’s William is my husband’s 5X g grandfather born in Irby and married to Mary Gunnel. I think his father could be a Samuel Bocock born in 1726.
If anyone has firm evidence for any of these Bococks I would be very grateful as my tree is full of question marks!
