George Haycock and Frances Prince

[Scruffy]

I am looking for any information/relatives/descendants with regard to the following couple:

George HAYCOCK, son of John Haycock and Unknown
b. 1863 Wolverhampton, Staffordshire
married 23 Dec 1888 in Liverpool to
Frances PRINCE, daughter of Joseph Prince and Ann Stanton/Threlfall
b. 1867 Toxteth Park

Although I have received much information already from many kind people, there are still many bits of information missing.

I do know that:

*George was a blacksmith, served in the Navy and was a docklabourer; supposedly was killed by a bomb near the end of WWII; apparently invented some type of breech loading device (??) and went to court numerous times to obtain the patent

*Frances was the daughter of Ann Stanton, who was previously married to a man named William Penn Threlfall; had a half-brother named George Prince from her father's previous marriage; had another half-brother and sister from her mother's 1st marriage

*They had a son named Joseph "Joe" who was an amputee and married a woman named Ann Armstrong

*They had a son named John "Jack" Walter who worked in The Netherlands as an English teacher

Any information would be HUGELY appreciated!

Hi Lyn.

Well, I never thought anybody would respond to this, since I have been searching for the Haycock family for so long. I won't disclose too much info on this forum because it's sensitive, but I can tell you that we're related. And if you're doing the family tree then I have a HUGE load of data for you.

Please keep in touch, this is pretty exiting for me.

Warm regards, Scruffy
