Another Gaius, unbelievable.
Are you suggesting that when the Registar ask for the former name of Elizabeth he entered Hancox as it sounded like Hancocks?

At this stage you try to get a "best fit" and then cross check / reject based on other information that comes to light later perhaps !

for example

Gaius is not a first name that fills Baptism registers , so ...

1861
Elizabeth Hancocks abt 1829 Taynton, Gloucestershire, England Wife Longhope Gloucestershire
Elizabeth Hancocks abt 1858 Longhope, Gloucestershire, England Daughter Longhope Gloucestershire
Gaius Hancocks abt 1859 Longhope, Gloucestershire, England Son Longhope Gloucestershire
Thomas Hancocks abt 1856 Longhope, Gloucestershire, England Son Longhope Gloucestershire
William Hancocks abt 1818 Linton, Herefordshire, England Head Longhope Gloucestershire

Many thanks, a lot of information to take in.
How do I get passed the Hancox/Hanson problem?

Gaius Charles Bullock

I now have his birth certificate. Father's name Joseph, mother's name Elizabeth formerly Hancox. DoB 13th March 1882.
Found many Josephs in the Westbury area.
Cannot find a match for his Father or Mother, the best one is Charles Bullock (DoB abt 1815) and a Mary Ann (BoB abt 1832 from Slimbridge).
