Thanks RF!
I am surprised that she was able to teach if she had a daughter but was unmarried. Interesting name for the daughter's father on the wedding certificate.

I had a look at the Samuel Nock page on BCC and there seem to be a few errors/incomplete bits.
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... ock-Family


1.

it says
1841 Oldswinford Worcestershire
Saml Nock age 45 Accountant brn in county
Ann Marie Nock age 30 Not brn in county
Matilda age Nock 15 brn in county
Anna maria Nock age 5 brn in county
Eliza Nock age 3 not brn in county
Skidmore West Nock age 2 -this should say Samuel....
born in county


I wonder if it should be Skidmore West because he seems to have died (unless that is a different one)
Deaths Jun 1844
NOCK Skidmore West Stourbridge 18 320


2.

1851 67 Cock Street, Wolverhampton
Samuel Noch 58 - Bank accountant - b Dudley
Hannah M Noch 30 - b Stambridge?

Samuel A W Noch 2
Mane S Nock 5

There was a mass baptism at Wolverhampton St George

NOCK Louisa Edith dau.of Samuel & Anna Maria 1 May 1861 Cock Street Banker
NOCK Lydia Mary dau.of Samuel & Anna Maria 1 May 1861 Cock Street Banker
NOCK Samuel Alfred Weston son of Samuel & Anna Maria 1 May 1861 Cock Street Banker
NOCK Anna Maria dau.of Samuel & Anna Maria 1 May 1861 Cock Street Banker

I think these are the births to fit, though the names are shorter:

Births Dec 1844
Nock Lydia Dudley 18 300

Births Dec 1848
Nock Samuel Wolverhampton 17 363

Births Dec 1850

The two older girls were baptised:

father: Samuel Nock

and

father: Samuel Nock
mother: Anne Maria

Name Anne Maria Nock
Gender Female
Christening Date 26 Apr 1838

3.
Happened to stumble over this

Mary Skidmore Nock
christening: 17 May 1853 Reddall-Hill, Stafford, England


father: Joseph Bate Nock
mother: Caroline

which suggests this marriage
Marriages Dec 1850
Davies Thomas Birmingham 16 562

Nott Mary Birmingham 16 562

There is birth 1846 in Wolverhampton. Just as Maria

I can't find any trace of Mane S Nock.
I wondered if she was a Mary Skidmore Nock like the daughter of Joseph Bate Nock, but I can't find a birth or anything with Samuel as father. Sorry.

and this one
Name: Mary Elizabeth Nock
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1845
Registration District: Wolverhampton
Volume: 17
Page: 299

I think we should shelve it for now

I wonder if she died? Theres a death in 1859 in Wolverhampton?
I have added as Maria and made a note. So confusing this...

If you have time Gardener would you check through and see if you agree?

So we will archive this...
