Hello, Can anyone help with this query please? My husbands GGGGrandfather John Hancock was born Abt178? in Ettington Alcester Warwickshire. I have just found out info that a H.D. Hancock wrote a book called the 'Shirleys of Ettington' in 1956 Ref WWM vol 3 No9. I just wondered if anyone had any ideas of where I might get a copy. Its the H.D. Hancock I am interested in. I will ask my local library to help me too. Thanks Shirley
