Here is the little information I have on my line of Wilcox or Woolcocks. My great great grandfather was born in New York City (according to his son's death certificate) around 1838. His name was William T. Woolcocks or Wilcox. On June 30, 1864, he married Dora Szein or Szeim. Later her name is listed as Sinn or Simm. She was born 8-1853 in Hesse Darmstadt, Germany. In the family Bible it lists Dora's mother's death as Magret Szeim, October 18, 1876 at the age of 76 years. Buried October 20, 1876 I believe they may have been married in St. Louis, Missouri, because I believe I have found William on the 1860 census in St. Louis. On most census records William is listed as William T Wilcox, in St Louis city directories he is listed as William T. Woolcocks. He was a cook on a steamboat, he is listed as a riverman. Their children: Jennie Woolcocks 1868 to 3-19-1870 listed as Jane Elizabeth Emma Woolcocks 1870 William Woolcocks 9-29-1871 to 9-7-1932 Married Hester Yuston 2-1897, I found them in the city directory for Alton, Illinois for many years, they divorced and William died in St. Louis, Mo. He is buried at the St. Matthews Cemetery. His death record spells his last name as Woolcocks Lotta Woolcocks 1874 Married John Bush 10-3-1897 I believe she may have married a second time to a Mr Hubert Katie Woolcocks 1877 Married Frank Johnson 1-22-1893 and lived their married life in Alton, Ill They had several children: Willie Johnson, Frank Johnson, Dora Johnson, Myrtle Johnson, and Charles Alfred Johnson Harriet Woolcocks 1-26-1880 (my great grandmother) Married Thomas Lee Maness on 8-13-1894, location unknown I do know several of the children were born in East St. Louis, Illinois, Decaturville, Tennessee, Caruthersville, Missouri, and Alton, Illinois Children: Cora Maness Graham, Thomas Maness, Ellen Maness, Frieda Maness, James W. Maness (my grandfather), Homer Maness, Everette Maness, Dorothy Rayma Maness, and Edna Maness Daisy Woolcocks 10-13-1883 Married Will Enloe 10-14-1907 John Woolcocks 1888 William T Woolcocks passed away on November 17, 1890 at the age of 52 years Dora remarried a man with the last name of Gerber 3-30-1898 In 1900 she is listed as living in Madison county, Illinois with her daughter Kate Johnson and family. John Wilcox, a son of Dora's is listed as living there also. The Family Bible lists Dora as passing away on 5-11-1906. This is the little bit that I know about my family. As I said before, I have found the name as Woolcocks in the Family Bible, but in the census records and city directories it is also spelled as Wilcox If anyone has any information, please contact me, I have hit a brick wall with them. St Louis doesn't have any information on them. Thank you, [email protected]
