THE EATON SOCON CONNECTION

As can be seen from the Male Line page, William Barcock b. 1756, my 4xGreat Grandfather, was the most recent of the line born in Eaton Socon.
He was baptised in Eaton Socon Parish, Feb. 23rd. 1756 and married Mary Hight at Renhold Parish on October 11th. 1785.
These events I have confirmed this from the Parish Records as shown on the Family Documents page.
In the marriage record, it states that he was of the nearby Parish of Willington and from the other information (ref: Norman Ratcliffe's research),
their children were born in Willington. So they must have lived there.

William's father, Richard Barcock b. 1727,  was born in Eaton Socon, married Susan Odell in eaton Socon and their children were all born in Eaton Socon (ref: Norman Ratcliffe's research). I have yet to confirm this information, but i think it is largely correct.

Then, going right back to Johannis, b. about 1570,  all the forebears were born, married and had children born in Eaton Socon.
From Norman Ratcliffe, I have copies of the Wills of  3 of them,  Richard d. 1795, John d.1766 and Richard d. 1692.
These are shown on the Family Documents page.

As I gain further information about all of them, their families and circumstances I will add that here.
I have an interesting new source now with the Eaton Socon Community Association who have a Website at http://www.escan.org.uk/
