FAMILY DOCUMENTS
This page is where you will find
copies or transcripts of documents such as Certificates, Wills,

COPYRIGHT ISSUES
Some of these documents may be subject to copyright.
Until I determine this for a document, it cannot be included on the
WWW view.
However, according to freereg.rootsweb.com , transcripts of Parish Register single entries are not
copyright, as photographs, for example, are.
QUOTE:
"The actual registers, and the films themselves are copyright.
In the case of Church of England parish registers, the registers
(books) are the copyright of the present incumbent (vicar) of the
church, and the films / microfiche (and prints from them) will
usually be the copyright of either the LDS or the County Record Office.
However, extracting data from them and presenting it in a different form,
i.e. extracting names and dates from them, presents no problem
in terms of copyright. As a matter of interest, that transcription
(in the form that you produce it) actually becomes your copyright
automatically."
Therefore, the Parish Register entries included here are single entry
transcripts which I have made and which I therefore have the copyright
to.
Birth, Marriage and Death certificates are subject to Crown Copyright.
According to www.opsi.gov.uk
;

8. Government policy is not to authorise the copying of completed
certificates except in the following circumstances..........
..........(d) within works of genealogical research undertaken
by or on behalf of the family concerned where the work in question will
be given limited distribution only. For the avoidance of doubt,
a work will NOT be regarded as being given limited distribution
if it is placed on the Internet;
Therefore, copies of these certificates may not be included on the
WWW view but appear in my personal version of the Barcock family Web Page.

Transcript of a letter printed

1991
My memories of the late Miss Wake….
With respect and pleasure I read that our Colonel-in-Chief
(Royal Corps of Signals) Princess Anne, will be visiting Wooton
Hall to declare open the County Records Office.
Mention of the late Miss Joan Wake took my memory back
to 1940 when I started my working career in the County Architect’s
Department, as an office junior under the splendid guidance of the
late Bill Barcock, the Chief Clerk.
Miss Wake had rooms at the top of the old jail block
alongside the Department and her authoritative call of “Mr. Barcock”
(or for) used to resound along the corridor when she required manual
assistance for parcels or documents.
I have so many happy memories of my short stay with the
Department before joining the Royal Corps of Signals. In my Army
days I always said that I lived near Northampton together with identifying
the Cobblers (and their war-time guest players) and the Saints, for,
apart from the late Eric Gammahe of Northampton, with whom I served,
few squaddies had ever heard of Olney!
I am sure Miss Wake could never have envisaged the efforts
she, and I believe just two colleagues, made would result in Royal
recognition in the new complex after her initial rooms in war-time
County Hall.

Still remembered....
I experienced one of those odd co-incidences of life
yesterday (February 18th.).
My father died 10 years ago and would have been 90 on
that day, so he had been much in my thoughts.
While browsing through the Chronicle & Echo his name
suddenly caught my attention in the letter from Alec Morgan about
Miss Wake’s days at County Hall. My father was the Mr. Barcock who
was summoned for help by Miss Wake.
Thank you Mr. Morgan for your reminiscences. It’s nice
to know my father is still remembered by someone other than his family.
You made my day.

My dear Mrs. Cheney,
How very nice to read your letter in the good old “C.&E.”
this evening.* Thank you very much for your kind appreciation.
You have made my day too.
Remember Mr. Bill Barcock? Always “Mr. Barcock” to me,
yes, for ever.
I left school in June 1940; was invited to go for an
interview with Mr. Ned Mann, Chief Clerk of the Clerk to the N.C.C.
There was a vacancy for an office junior in the County Architect’s
Dept., and I retired on 31st. August last year, thus I got my 50 years
working life in, which was my ambition, having been in the Army for
5 years of that time.
Your Dad, for whom I had the utmost respect and affection,
was super to work for. He was brilliant at his job, and had a wonderful
sense of humour and we never had a cross word in the two years I was
privileged to work for him, so I think I must have made the grade! My
whole office administration life has been based on his guidance and expertise.
The County Council certainly never had a better Departmental Chief Clerk,
that is for sure.
I was told before I began each day to make sure my office
desk was clear, neat and tidy. That I have followed religiously to
this day, as I write from my “Den” I am sure Mr. Barcock would approve
my desk top.
I will always picture Mr. Barcock as the typical “City
Editor”. He would take off his jacket, thrust his pipe in the side
of his mouth, and would stand up to a bench and hammer away on his
trusty, if a little ancient, typewriter, nineteen to the dozen! He
would pound up and down the corridor of the Old Gaol Block with
files, queries, etc., and would suffer all sorts of interruptions
from the staff, Miss Wake, Councillors, builders, the caretaking staff,
Miss Whittingham from the Judges’ lodgings, the County Police, telephone
calls etc., all of which would be dealt with at speed, and woe betide
anyone would merely wanted to pass the time of day. They would get short
shrift!
From his staff Dad had just lost Mason and Spackman,
followed very shortly by the late Ted Wardale to the R.A.F. just
as I started, although I think Mason was a conscientious objector
and the County Council would not continue his employment. There followed
after me, Miss Sybil Norman (? from Billing Road) and Miss Summers,
who I think was an evacuee, the first female staff in the C.A. Dept.
Unfortunately, from my letter, the C. & E. omitted
Miss Wake’s thunderous “GOOD BYE”. Your Dad took that up (when
she wasn’t about!) and as he left to go home he would raise his arm
and say “GOOD BYE”. I can still hear him saying it as he went down in
the lift in the Old Gaol Block. Of course, it was the cue for me to
say an equal “GOOD BYE” and we would dissolve into laughter, such great
fun as I said in my letter, so many happy days, sadly all too brief for
me, in wartime C.H.
I remember you used to live in Broadmead Avenue, and
I think Dad liked a routine visit to the “Broadmead” with Mr. Frank
deChastelain, I believe. I would go up to the Corporation Bus Office
(on the edge of the market Place (Newland?) to get a bus ticket for
Miss Muriel and I think I am right in saying you have a brother John.
Your Grandad and Grandmother, a dear old couple, vivid
in my mind, used to come in from time to time to see their son “Will”
but I am afraid they were duly ushered out, courteously and firmly,
for as I have said, Dad was forever a human dynamo and worked at speed
continuously.
The Architects were, Mr. Perkins (the C.A.), Mr. Johnny
Walker, Mr. Sid Percival (his dithering used to try Dad’s patience),
Mr. Powell, Mr. Glover, Mr. Neville, Mr. Claypole, Mr. Clayton, Mr.
Carter (with artificial legs), Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Don Jones and Mr.
Buckingham (apprenticed architect), so he had a lot to put up with.
Mrs. Jean Roddis (nee Rogers) was Junior Clerk in the
Education Department. She was attractive, would not chat, so there
was no junior’s romance! We still exchange cards at Christmas to Park
Avenue North and I send her reports of the Bach Choir, in which she sings
from the C. & E., but there again, happy memories of the C.H. in
wartime Northampton.
I do apologise for going on at length, Mrs. Cheney, however,
though I started at £1 per week and it cost me 6x10d. bus
return fares from Olney as we worked a 5 ½ day week, but I
could still treat myself to a new shirt and tie from Blacklees! My
family and granddaughters just can’t comprehend values of those days.
The memories just keep flooding back and those of Miss
Joan Wake and your dear Dad are as vivid as if they were only of
yesterday.
Oh yes, Mrs. Cheney, I’ll remember with utter respect,
Mr. W. G. Barcock, (Mr. Barcock always to me). May he rest in peace.
God Bless,
Yours very sincerely,
Alec Morgan
