Age at death[edit]

Children of John Collings Willcock[edit]

I'm not sure how one goes about updating / correcting Wikipedia entries.

The article states that he had three sons and three daughters. To my knowledge he only had one son and three daughters.

I am the grandson of John Willcock, the son of his eldest daughter, Sylvia. As a child I knew him. I also know of two Aunts: his daughters Elaine and Glad and an Uncle: his son Jack. I have never heard of any other sons, even alluded to as children who died in infancy.

I have subsequently spoken to his surviving son and now believe that there were two children who were probably stillborn. Possibly (but doubtful) one or both died very soon after birth.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.26.106.207 (talk) 14:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
