Hi Nevilla, I am sure that you will recall my letter to you about my Allicock research, which you posted at Rootsweb (your letter 09/02/03). As you can see from my recent posting to the list, I am still looking for more Allicocks in the WI, and have broadened my net by pointing to the variations and by not specifying a time frame or particular Islands. I heard from very few of the people that I sent my comphrehensive summary to, but the few that I did hear from did provide some useful information, including a William Allercott will in St. Kitts. This William I am sure was one of Capt. Syer Allicock's sons. However, an email to the archivist Mrs. O'Flaherty has not met with any response. So I guess I will have to write her again. However I am happy to report that I have definitely established that Capt. Syer Allicock did come from Northamptonshire. Now I am still trying to find the link to the Demerara Allicocks. Hence this letter to you. It was sparked by your mention of Tim Anderson and the Codrington Correspondence. The time period of 1740's to 1780's also sparked my interest. In my summary I mentioned a will in Antigua of 1784, for Elizabeth Carnegie, nee Allicock, one of Syer's daughter's. This might mean that Allicocks were in Antigua until 1784. I have been unable to get a copy of this will, from the LDS micro-film or from the Antigua archives, which unlike the St. Kitts archives was kind enough to look for it. I am hoping that the Codrington Correspondence for Antigua is Indexed, and it will be possible for Tim Anderson to look for any mention of Allicocks and variations in there. Can you ask Tim for me? Thanks. Looking forward to hearing from you. Richard Allicock Toronto Canada
