JAMES HANCOCKS born 1829
« on: Friday 28 January 05 21:49 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I am trying to find any information on a James Hancocks b.1829.

According to the 1871 census he was born in Bloxwich, Staffs.

Some kind person looked for him on the 1861 census, but could not find a James born in Bloxwich.

Can someone tell me where Bloxwich is??

Any Information no matter how small would be really appreciated.


Thanks

Hello Kerrie

Sorry I can't help with the census lookup but Bloxwich is situated just to the north of Walsall and east of Willenhall - the link below will give you a good idea where it is:

you can then zoom in or out to give a closer view.
