Tocock Family History

of uncertain origin. Derivation from Tocketts (NR Yorks) with assimilation to the common type ending in -cock seems unlikely for a name in Hants and Berks although a Sir Roger Tocotes is recorded in 1492 in Bromham (Wilts) in PROB 11.

Perhaps it is an altered form of Tuckey (see Tooke) attested in Robert Toky 1327 in Subsidy Rolls (Hawkley Hants).

Hawkley is four miles from Froxfield (Hants) where Tocock is first recorded from the 16th century.
