Just FYI...there are some shipwrights on the Index to Cheshire Wills. I ran across a list of the London Company folks and didn't find any Hancocks. I didn't make a note of the URL (since there weren't any Hancocks on it), but it should be easy enough to find with a web search. >>This index includes all the wills 1492-1857 proved at the Chester diocesan consistory court and now held at the Cheshire Record Office >> http://www.fhsc.org.uk/wills/han-har.htm
