Hi Gordon, Sorry, I'm feeling a tad guilty that while you were so busy working on my case I needed to go run out to catch the last day of the can-can sale (grocery stock-up). The sale only happens 2 x a year. -- not that you care :-) and now that I'm back - England is probably asleep Boy you were really busy sleuthing while I was gone. Thank you so very much. Yes, this lady is looking real good. I totally agree with your evaluation of Margaret being named after her mother, given Jane Parr HANCOCK was named after her mother-in-law. Wow! You really resolved my curiosity regarding Henry HANCOCK. I shan't be wondering about him anymore, however do you think he may somehow be related to Al GORE, former U.S. vice president? Hmmm? ;-) No, let's not go there. Seriously, I'm very grateful to you and others on this board who have graciously offered their time and efforts in solving this mystery. Enjoy the day!

This seems a distinct possibillity in the 1881 Census :- 11 Newsham Terrace, West Derby Raymond W LOVELOCK, 27, clerk in Bank of England, b London Isabella TENNENT, servant, 19, general domestic servant, b SCO Paisley Given that she named her second daughter Margaret, this could well be her birth registration, bearing in mind that her age was stated to be 25 in 1891 and 34 in 1901 :- 3 February 1866 30 Old Dalmar, Nock Road, Glasgow Isabella TENNANT Father - David TENNANT, drayman Mother - Margaret TENNANT, maiden name AITKENHEAD Parents' marriage - 3 December 1858, Rutherglen >I'm also curious as to who Henry HANCOCK from Pensby is - probably Thomas >Hancock's cousin... Henry HANCOCK (b1835 Pensby) was indeed Thomas' first cousin, he being baptised on 3 October 1835 in Heswall St Peter, son of Edward Gore HANCOCK (b1806 Heswall) and Arabella WHITBY (b1806 Neston) who married on 18 December 1834 in Heswall St Peter. GORE being the maiden name of Edward & Charles HANCOCK's mother Sarah, who married Henry HANCOCK on 19 September 1805 in Heswall St Peter.

Hi Eleanor There would seem a choice of two households for Thomas HANCOCK's wife Bella in the 1871 Census :- Gidion Street, Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland David TENNANT, W, 67, labourer, b Bathgate Catherine, daur, U, 40, Bathgate David, son, W, 36, labourer, Bathgate Jane, grandaur, 10, Bathgate David, grandson, 8, Bathgate Isabella, grandaur, 5, Bathgate David CAMERON, grandson, 5, Bathgate 330 Argyle Street, Barony, Glasgow, Scotland David TENNANT, 32, salesman of bottled drinks, b Lanarkshire Old Monkland Mary, wife, 24, Renfrewshire Greenock Margaret Barr, daur, 10, Renfrewshire Renfrew Isabella, daur, 5, Lanarkshire Glasgow James Archibald, son, 3, Lanarkshire Rutherglen Given that her birthplace is given as Glasgow in 1911 the second one appears the most likely - Mary patently being David TENNANT's second wife?
