GROCOCK It is very likely (due to the place and the date) that William was born 29 May 1747, bap 7 Jun 1747 at Saint John Smith Square, Westminster, London, son of Wm. Grocock and Bridget (ref IGI). He was the only Grocock on that particular parish record in IGI and the only one found in London. The marriage of Wm Grocock and Bridget has not been found for certain, but there was a marriage of William Croocock to Bridget Skin on 5 Aug 1740 at Grainthorpe, Lincoln (ref FamilySearch). No other children of a William and Bridget have been found. Married 3 May 1773 at Saint Anne Soho, Westminster, London to Anne HOOPER (the names given as William Groscock and Ann Hooper in FamilySearch Pilot record and IGI). Anne was a daughter of William Hooper. Their names are given in the England & Wales Christening Records, 1530-1906 in Ancestry for the baptisms of James and Samuel.
