Folks, FYI, the following statistics are to give you a feel for (1) the very large volume of people in Devon County, England, with the surname Hancock:, and (2) the types and volumes of Hancock/Devon data that can be found in the indexes to the U.K. Parish Registers: - Baptisms recorded in the 1813 - 1839 Baptism Registers Index for some parishes: 376 - Marriages recorded in the 1754 - 1812 Marriage Registers Index for all parishes: 351 - Marriages recorded in the 1813 - 1837 Marriage Registers Index for all parishes: 278 - Burials recorded in the 1813 - 1837 Burial Registers Index for most parishes: 261 The Devon Family History Society provided me the 53-page long printouts of these 1266 Hancock-related events reported in the Parish Registers Indices. These cost me 12.66GBP back in December 2006. As a side note, Simon Hancock referred us to the following interesting website on the Combe Martin parish and its Hancock persons of interest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combe_Martin#Hancock Dan Hancock
