Hi List, I'm getting back into genealogy again after a lengthy absence, and I'm interested in a Thomas HANCOCK, born about 1783, Longport. He was a pottery warehouseman, and was married to a Hannah, but I don't have her surname, or details of the marriage. They had at least the following children; - Mary, born approximately 1810, Staffordshire John, born 1815, Newport Thomas, born 1817, Newport, d. 1817. Betsy, born 1823, Longport They may also have had a daughter Hannah, born around 1810. Thomas' wife Hannah died in the 1820s, and he remarried in 1830 to a Sophia BROUGH. Mary married John HURD in 1838. Is anyone else interested in this family, or does anyone else have any further info on them ? Cheers, Rosalind. Also researching OAKES, COWEN, SMITH, MYATT in the Potteries.

Hello Rosalind, FreeREG has a baptism at Burslem (which contains the parish of Longport) in the church of St John the Baptist of a Thomas HANCOCK on 18 March 1783, parents John & Mary HANCOCK which may be relevant to you. The only baptisms to the couple which appear on FreeREG are those of John on 14 August 1815 and Thos on 14 September 1817 at St John the Baptist to Thomas & Hannah HANCOCK of Newport, Potter. However, so far I have been unable to find a marriage for Thomas & Hannah.
