Barcock Family History

Barcock Surname Meaning

Unexplained; perhaps a variant of Bercott with post-medieval substitution of -cock for -cot. Compare Henry Bircott 1653 in IGI (Hughenden Bucks).

However, Barcock seems to be a 19th-century arrival in Bucks and there may be no connection between the names.
