Hi Richard, I have been transcribing all the baptisms for Eaton Socon starting in 1813, which are all in our list archives. I did scan my complete copy, and although there are many Stockers in there, none of yours. I'll bet they had all their children baptised at St Neots, which makes it difficult, as NONE of the St Neots baptisms have ever been filmed. You could go to Huntingdon at the Record Office, or hire someone to look there for you.That's about your only choices, sad to say. I was there in June, and spent a day scribbling out baptisms, but didn't get very far of course.
