Hello
We are trying to connect with family members who are linked to The Willcox family from Bootle
Our Great Grand parents were Sidney Benjamin Willcox married to Sarah Jane Simpson
They had the following childfren:
Sidney Benjamin Willcox born 1900 - 1961(Worked in Tate & Lyle)
William Herbert Willcox born 1894 - 1965 ( I am named after William ) our Willcox line (Worked in Tate & Lyle). His son Herbert William Willcox (My Father) also worked in Tate & Lyle
Amelia Dorothy Willcox born 1892 - 1963
Sarah Jane Willcox born 1896
Margaret Willcox born 1899 - 1968
Annie Willcox born 1902 - 1992
Thomas Athur Willcox born 1908 -1987
Ada Willcox born 1908 - 1988
Doris Willcox born 1911 - 1994
We are trying to find our cousins who would like to connect with us.
So if you are related or know of people who are related we would be happy to share our research on the Willcox Name which is not originally from Liverpool but from Somerset.
Hope someone can help

Hiya Billy,
I have just seen your Post seeking info about any relatives you may have in the Bootle area,but I was shocked & very deeply saddened to read that your Mum " Dolly" (as I remember Her) has Passed Away this year ! It is a lifetime since you & I have seen each other and so much has happened for both of us no doubt,but I will forever remember your Mum & the happy,great times I spent in your house on the Sefton Estate in the late 60's/early 70's whilst Alan (RIP) & I were best mates. Your Mum took me under Her wing and made me feel so welcome,and boy did we have some laughs to cherish.Alan & I spent many hours listening to music,or just hangin' around outside with other lads (like Mick Brookes,Kenny Hounslea,Frank McShane,Gordon Lloyd & many more,as well as some of the local girls such as the Davidson Twins,Sandra & Lilian who lived just a few doors away from yours. Your Mum always said I had a "warped sense of humour".....so did your Sister,Doll......maybe they knew something eh mate ? Those times were such Happy Times for Me,and I always wish that I could go back to them days and spend more time in the company of special people....such as Your Mum. Nobody can ever take away my Special Memories of my time spent with your Mum,and indeed Alan,Les,Doll & yourself.........Very Special Memories of a Very Special Lady (Goodnight & God Bless....RIP x )
Take Care & Be Good Bill
