Hi John, Here's a little snippet, which may be of interest: There was a James HANCOCK among the voters who were entitled to vote in Doulting Parish in the 1832 Election in the Eastern Division of the County of Somerset. The abode of this James HANCOCK was Bodden in Doulting. His qualification to vote was occupying tenant of house and land. The property was situated at Bodden. Josephine
