John Walter Hancock OR John Hancock OR John Walter 1807-Jan 16, 1875.
« on: Thursday 07 January 16 18:51 GMT (UK) »
The info that I have is that he died at Pontypool, Wales. Hopefully, someone could confirm this and advise where he might be buried. He was married bef 1841 to Honour Walter 1821-bef 1862. This couple had several children. He was the son of Henry Walter ca1748-1811 & Ann Hancock 1769-1838.

Thanks in advance
Roger

He is with Grace (as in 1871, above) all the way back to 1841.

There was a marriage in Bradworthy, Devon, of John HANCOCK (his father Henry WALTER) and Grace WILLS, a minor, on 19 May 1839.

There was a baptism in Bradworthy on 5 July 1807 of John, illegitimate son of Ann HANCOCK, Henry WALTER being the reputed Father.

It's not clear where Honour fits in?

It appears from online family trees that the John and Honour HANCOCK referred to lived in Canada.

This appears to be the couple who went to Canada:

The marriage certificate will give fathers' names and occupations.
