Thanks for all the info. William Hercock is my G.Grandfathers brother.

Oh, I just can't stop!

Original says he's a coal meter. Address for both London Fields. His father a timber merchant, hers a carpenter. Witnesses George Gupwell Baldwin and Ann Pinnion.

Hi Diane. Mery Christmas an happy new year.
The details i have are as follows. The Hercock name was actually Hercot on Ancestry.co.uk.
The following is what i got
on 1901 census at 71 Somerford Street, Bethnal Green,
William Hercot age 37 (Born c 1864)
Martha Hercot age 35 (Born c1866)
Mary A Hercot age 15 (Born c1886)
Emily Hercot age 12 (Born c1889)
William Hercot age 9 (Born c1892)
John Hercot age 7 (Born c1894)
Thomas Hercot age 4 (Born c1897)
Albert Hercot age 2 (Born c1899).
All these details i got when i typed inb William Hercot in 1901 census.
The different name is shown in the Ancestry site as the Hercock name did not come up for Bethnal Green with both the parents names.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the extra information Margaret.
Great to know this.

Many thanks
Diane

Would someone be kind enough to look up William and Martha Hercock.
In 1891 they were living in Bethnal Green and Martha died there in 1915.
I would like to know what children there were in both censuses.
Many thanks
