Re: Electoral roll look up HANCOCK

Hi Les
Kellys Commercial - E-K Directory of Birmingham & Suburbs (1904) pages 572 and 573 shows
Hancox William Henry, jun. insurance agent, 23 Grosvenor street, west
And also Harding&Hancox, coach furniture mfrs.23 Grosvenor st.west

Spelt differently, but at same address as 1911 census so I guess this is your family

Re: Electoral roll look up HANCOCK

Hi Astonian,

Thaks for your responce, But I have only just recently took a ride down Summerfield Crescent to have a look at the area prior to this I have never been down there before. Therefore I cant help you , Sorry. But you are right, The researchers on this site are mag and I am sure I will get the result I am looking for.
Thanks Les

Hi Bewdley,
Thanks for taking the time to look up my family.
For a moment I thought you had found the family that has eluded me for 3 years, But on closer examination of the 1911 census it isnt them.But I really do appreciate your help
Regards
Les
