This is a 30 year old, world-wide study and includes HAL(L)ICK(E), HOL(L)OCK(E)(S), HOLLEX, HOLLOX and a number of other varients like HO(L)LIOCKE, HOL(L)IOAK(E) which bridge the divide between the HOLLICK and HOLYOAK Clan and it's varients.
My 3x Gt Grandfather was married as a HOLYOAK but all other "official" refs to him are as HOLLICK!!. Have other refs to clergyman officiating at weddings entering a name as HOLYOAK whilst the bride, or Groom, clearly signed as HOLLICK
Very happy to exchange information with anyone interested in the "family"

Hello David
I myself havnt done much research on this line and what little i have has been passed on or found on census ect.
My line is my G2 Emma King who married Henry Hollox. He was born in Monks Eleigh c1853 and was known as "Hoppy Dick". They married in Little Waldingfield. They had children Aurthur, George, Bertha and John. Henry was convicted of the manslaughter of Emma in 1891. When he was released he re-married. His parents were Robert Hollox and Mary Ann Baker.
Many thanks for your offer it would be much appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi Tracey,
Thanks for reply and the info. Have not looked at my database yet and we are going to be out this evening and all day tomorrow, as well as most of Thusday, so may not be able to get back in detail until the week-end.
Your ref to Henry being convicted of manslaughter has rung some distant bells in my memory with a correspondent some years ago asking me if I could comment on a HOLLICK drowning a girl ("in a tub"?). The implication was that it was in the early part of the 20C and I have no records that go anywhere near filling that bill but - how did Emma drown?
Regards
David

Hi Michelle,
It is not unknown (as your example shows) but is quite rare.
Like all such uses of a surname as a forename it generally commemorates a marriage (as in HOLLICK = BIRD) although it may also refer to a God-parent or a benefactor to the family.
In this case I suspect it relates to the marriage of Joseph BIRD to Mary Ann HOLLICK at St John Baptist, Coventry, on 7tth Feb 1842 with the individual concerned being a descendant of this union.
If that's not the line there are a number of other HOLLICK = BIRD marriages in the Midlands area that could be the one and I would be happy to let you have details
Regards
David
