About Me
Trevor Hancock, genealogist and local historian
I am a genealogist and local historian offering a research service in the UK both online and at various record offices.
Family and local history for many years
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 researched my own family history which can be traced back to Nycholas Hancock born circa 1567 in Keevil Wiltshire.
Research, writing and libraries
I was the research assistant for Irene Hancock, a noted local historian in Wantage.
I am at present researching the lives of the WW1 men commemorated in Wantage for a book for publication.
I have worked in library and archive services for many years.
I am a member of the:
- Wiltshire Family History Society
- Berkshire Family History Society
- The Western Front Association
Testimonials
What clients have said
Trevor Hancock researched my Grandfather’s service in WW1. He produced a very comprehensive, detailed and professional history at a reasonable cost considering the amount of time involved. I was thrilled and most impressed.

The report you produced on my grandfather, has now been passed around to other family members, and we all agree it is a super piece of work and will undoubtedly prove to be a long lasting and interesting keepsake for future generations. I will definitely recommend you to anyone in the future.
