Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 71 Send Message	Thank you Brummiejan, I did think handcocks could be hancock. Incidentally after I posted my query I stayed on line to respond straight away to a reply and my query sayed at 'one minute ago' with no replies. So I decided to log out and back in again and saw your very prompt reply. I did not know you had to log out to refresh the query. Thank you for your help Chris

Other people are Thomas Elliott 55 Charlotte 50 William 20 Thomas 15 George 14 Mary does not show up when I click view record. I also can't fathom William's occupation.
