I have found two boys of my extended Mycock family as pupils of the Kingswood School Wesleyan College in Bath in 1871. They were Mountford W[yche] Mycock, aged 15 and Arthur H[ambleton] Mycock aged 12. They were the sons of the Reverend Josiah Mycock (a Wesleyan minister) and his second wife Margaret. At some time between 1871 and 1881 it appears that the whole family changed their surname from Mycock to Mountford (Josiah's mother's maiden surname). Mountford W Mountford also became a Wesleyan minister and, I suspect, a missionary to Africa, like his father; Arthur H Mountford became a dentist. I believe that the SoG Library holds copies of two books which may shed further light on this family: Register of Kingswood School, Bath Published for the Old Boys' Union in 1910 by Butler & Tanner An Index to Change of Names 1760-1901, WPW Phillimore & EA Fry 1905, reprinted 1968 As I live some distance from London, I am currently unable to attend in person to make the small number of look-ups I need. Please could someone going into the library in the near future possibly look for the boys' entries in the school register (as either Mycock or Mountford) and also look in the Phillimore index for any mention of a change from Mycock to Mountford. I'm currently corresponding with both SOAS and John Rylands Library regarding the Methodist and missionary records. Regards Ken
