William and Ann Wilcock are my great, great grandparents, They were both born I think in 1795. William died in 1851. I have found them on a census and know who their children were but am trying to find out who both their parents were and what Ann's maiden name was. Can anyone help?

With such common names a location is vital.

You might need to contact the record office at Kendal to see if they hold parish marriages or baptisms from the late 1700's/early 1800's:-

Even the marriage record from that time is unlikely to name their fathers so you would probably need to look for baptisms for the pair of them.
