Hi Gordon Happy birthday to cousin Dorothy, my next one is 66 so hope I make it too. My uncle Joe BENNETT died just before Christmas funeral Wed I'm hoping to drive up for it. He was 89! Happy New Year to all my SHERLOCK and related relatives.

Ties up many loose ends in my extended family tree, and seems to identify virtually all the Bidston, West Kirby and Hoylake SILCOCKs as descendants of this line. Isn't it just sod's law, though, that the one name missing from baptisms of children of Robert & Hannah in the CPRP data-base is your ancestor Robert SILCOCK born c1771/2? PS. Wife Dorothy managed to make it to her 66th birthday today. :-) Best Gordon From: "YvonnePurdy" <von@yvonnepurdy.free-online.co.uk> To: <ENG-MERSEYSIDE@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2011 3:42 PM Subject: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] Robert Silcock's will dated 21st May 1817 Hi all, I've just received the will of Robert SILCOCK of Barnston, late Farmer, dated 21 May 1817. Robert SILLCOCK married Hannah NEWPORT on 31 January 1761 at Bidston, and I'm now quite sure they are my 5 x great grandparents. He mentions £10 to his son Robert Silcock, his son Henry Silcock, his daughter Ann Richardson; one shilling to his daughter Elizabeth; all the rest of money and goods to his daughter Hannah for ever, and his son in law John Davies to be the whole and sole executor. Witnesses were Joseph Peers, John Evans and John Cookson.
