Willock(s)
« on: Wednesday 28 April 21 20:55 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I would like some help please, I am researching an ancestor named Mary Willock(s) baptised 5th July 1806 at Blymhill Staffordshire. Her father is John Willock(s) and her mother is Martha Willock(s) nee Snead. Since I located the baptism I have not found either a marriage or death record for Mary. I have searched online at Ancestry, FamilySearch and Find My Past and now have ran out of options. Can anyone suggest where I can search. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Graham

Hi Colin,

Many thanks for the information, I'll have a look at that one to see where it leads me. I know over time the actual spelling of the surname has changed so this could be an alternative spelling for the marriage. The dates appear to be realistic also.

Regards

Graham

Just wanted to mention that JOHN BIDDULPH was a minister who witnessed many marriages at St. Peter's Wolverhampton, therefore not a relative of the bride or groom.
Robbins - Wolverhampton.
Spooner - Monmouthshire & Wolverhampton.
Warner & Loundes - Dudley/West Bromwich.
Dod(g)son - Heysham/Liverpool/Wolverhampton
