About me

A genealogist and local historian

I have been involved in family and local history for many years. This started when I volunteered to record the Vale of the White Horse on behalf of the National Inventory of War Memorials from 1991-1994.

I have worked in library and archive services for many years, and I am a member of the Wiltshire Family History Society, Berkshire Family History Society and the Western Front Association.

“Mr Hancock is thorough in his research, leaving no avenue unexplored.”
