Birth	RL 4/05 Added to baptism entry from Watchfield PRs supplied by Helen Norton.
Christening	(From Modern Transcript); supplied (4/05) by Helen Norton in response to RL request - tracking down the Pocock sisters/family.
Census	Helen Norton (24/4/05) supplied the following re. 1891 census entry she located: David, 45; Anna, 45; Thomas H., 19; Eliza, 17; George W., 15; David B., 13; Anna I., 9; Florence E., 6; Harry, 4; Martha A, 4(?). Helen reported 'all born Watchfield, except Anna born Breamore'* - i.e. as per 1881 entry. I'm not sure whether the '(?)' is in the original or Helen's. Age 'should' be 11. ** Actually Helen reported 'Braemore' as Anna's birthplace - whose slip?!
Census	19/5/05 From info. extracted and supplied 14/5 by James from 1901 Census On-Line: Watchfield, Berkshire RG13 1127 F34 P1 David POCOCK 55, born 1846, Berks, Watchfield, Mason and Bricklayer Ethel POCOCK 16, born 1885, Berks, Watchfield, School Mistress Harry POCOCK 14, born 1887, Berks, Watchfield, Bread Baker 20/5 Anna POCOCK 55, born 1846, Beeamore* [sic] - found and added (RL) * whose error? above appears on-screen

Occupation	19/5/05 RL Basil Lovelock also recalls (his cousin) being a baker (in Swindon - and later?), like his (Harry's) elder brother David.
Marriage	Marriage data entered 15/4/10, along with 1911 census entry. See general note to Harry Pocock for further information.

Census	The handwriting of this 1911 entry is rather poor; our transcription shows several differences vis-a-vis that of findmypast (fmp) for example, which reflect other data in our possession, notably concerning the marriage and the birth registration of Gertrude Tabitha Sainsbury, which fmp would not have considered.
Shared note	12/5/05 RL Looking for possible marriage and children. According to Basil Lovelock (my uncle), Harry (the youngest of David and Anna) had a son Wilfred; he recalled the family living in Swindon, probably during the 1930s or later. Found a Harry Pocock marriage to a Rose Ellen Fuller in Bradfield (Berks) 2nd quarter 1902 and the birth of a Wilfred Basil registered in Faringdon RD 1st quarter 1905 (the only Wilfred Pocock birth registration - on FreeBMD at least - for Berkshire or Wiltshire between 1900 and 1930. Further Watchfield PR data from Helen Norton (15/5) has this birth clearly as being to Harry's elder brother David Basil and spouse (qv). 13/5 Realised the above marriage unlikely to be Harry's as he'd only have been 15! Found two other possibilities via FreeBMD: (i) Cricklade, June quarter 1910, vol. 5a, p. "[68]4" (i.e transcriber unsure whether page is 64 or 84 and therefore "no spouse details available"). BMDIndex (via 'The Genealogist') image shows Cricklade 5a p. 84 quite clearly (and they've confirmed as much in response to my query to them ref. FreeBMD); not poss. to find bride thence however, as images are of whole pages for the relevant quarter with entries (of individuals) in alphabetical order. On FreeBMD neither 'possible' page in fact included a Harry Pocock!: p. 84 lists Maskell, Dorothy; Parson (BMDIndex has Parsons), Victor Roland M; Sainsbury, Gertrude F; Sainsbury, Gertrude Ta_itha. (BMDIndex image also has 2xSainsbury, with 'Tabitha' reasonably clear.) p. 64 is in fact for Swindon, not Cricklade, and lists Baughm, Sidney James; Greenwood, Arthur William; Griffiths, Ethel May; Osborne, Martha. So where's Harry Pocock?! Queried all this with FreeBMD - although they say 'firm corrections only'!! No response so far (19/5). (ii) Harry James Pocock, Swindon 1st quarter 1910, vol. 5a, p. 33, but the 'James' obviously makes this unlikely to be our man; bride either Edith Elizabeth Ferris or Louisa Maud Sturt. 19/3/10 RL The 1911 census entry now available [though not without difficulties in terms of transcription!] suggests that Harry's wife's name was Gertrude and thence that the Cricklade marriage entry is indeed much the most likely one. Revisiting FreeBMD reveals that the relevant page number has been corrected to 84, that Harry Pocock's name now appears along with the other four [NB], and that 'Parson' has been amended to 'Parsons'. The 'double' entry as regards Ms Sainsbury remains, however, both in FreeBMD and of course on the actual page image.
