Not in my tree, by I have a friend whose married name is Hiscock.  And my Mum and Dad had friends named Hercock!

Adds a whole new perspective on his and hers.  ;D

If a Hiscock married a Hercock, would their married name be hyphenated or would they change it to Theircock?  ???

Depending on where the name is in the sentence; Theircock, or Theycock, or perhaps even Themcock.
