Family History, Pocock Chart 0401 Lewis Greville Pocock and Antoinette Le Gros

1901 Headland, Kimbolton, Bedford and Kempston, Bedford, Bedfordshire. On the charts I was sent I have a Greville POCOCK who does not appear above but on the 1901 Census there is a Lewis G POCOCK so I believe he was actually Lewis Greville POCOCK and I have shown him as such on the Chart above "A message on Ancestry says the following it is from a Stephen POCOCK: I am searching for the genealogy of my great-grandfather, Armand J(ean?) T(homas?) LE GROS, born in the 1850s. He was a Methodist minister, and married Harriet Bigwood, of an Anglo-Belgian family, in Brussels in 1886, where his second daughter, my grandmother Antoinette Le Gros, was born in 1889. He was subsequently a minister in (my father believes) both Jersey and Guernsey, later moving to England where he died in 1944. Because he was bilingual, we have believed him to be a Channel Islander who was minister to a mixed congregation in Brussels. We should be grateful for any information about his birth and parentage, a history of the Le Gros family to which he belonged. If there are documents recording any of this, we should like to know where they are. My grandmother, Antoinette Le Gros married Lewis Greville Pocock, and eventually emigrated to New Zealand, where I was born. My father, John Greville Agard Pocock, lives in Baltimore, Maryland in the United States. I live in Los Angeles, California. We sincerely appreciate any help you can give us" 1917 20 Ruskin Walk, Herne Hill, London (at marriage) Father William Frederick Henry POCOCK - Gentleman 1924 23 Gower Street, Holborn, Camden London (London Electoral Roll) With wife Antoinette 1925 23 Gower Street, Holborn, Camden London (London Electoral Roll) With wife Antoinette 1935 48 Browns Road, Canterbury, Christchurch North, New Zealand (New Zealand Electoral Roll) With his was his wife Antoinette. 1938 48 Browns Road, Canterbury, Christchurch North, New Zealand (New Zealand Electoral Roll) With his was his wife Antoinette. 1946 48 Browns Road, St Albans, Canterbury, Christchurch North, New Zealand (New Zealand Electoral Roll) With his was his wife Antoinette.

(This ties up with the message on Ancestry above) 1949 48 Browns Road, St Albans, Canterbury, Christchurch North, New Zealand (New Zealand Electoral Roll) With his was his wife Antoinette. At the same address so assume a son was John Greville Agard POCOCK a Lecturer and also an Olive Penelope Agard POCOCK a Spinster who I assume is a daughter.

Information for John Greville Agard POCOCK taken from Wikipedia John Greville Agard Pocock (born 7 March 1924), as a writer known as J. G. A. Pocock, is a historian noted for his trenchant studies of republicanism in the early modern period (especially in Europe, Britain, and America), for his treatment of Edward Gibbon and his contemporaries as historians of Enlightenment, and, in historical method, for his contributions to the history of political discourse. Born in England, after spending most of his early life in New Zealand he moved to the United States in 1966, where since 1975 he has had tenure at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. Pocock was born in London in 1924, but in 1927 his family moved to New Zealand when his father, Greville Pocock, was appointed professor of Classics at Canterbury College. The younger Pocock's academic career also began at Canterbury, with a B.A. leading to an M.A. in 1946. He later moved to Cambridge, earning his Ph. D. in 1952 under the tutelage of Herbert Butterfield. He returned to New Zealand to teach at Canterbury University College, 1946–48, and to lecture at the University of Otago, 1953–55. In 1959, he established and chaired the Department of Political Science at the University of Canterbury. He moved to the USA in 1966, when he was named as the William Eliot Smith professor of history at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1975 Pocock assumed his present tenure at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore; As of 2011 he holds the position of the Harry C. Black Professor of History Emeritus. His first book, entitled The Ancient Constitution and the Feudal Law elucidated the common law mind, showing how thinkers such as the English jurist Edward Coke (1552–1634) built up a historical analysis of British history into an epistemology of law and politics; and then how that edifice later came to be subverted by scholars of the middle to late seventeenth century. Some of this work has since been amended.[1] Later work By the 1970s Pocock had changed his focus from how lawyers understood the evolution of law to how philosophers and theologians did. The Machiavellian Moment (1975), his widely acclaimed magnum opus, showed how Florentines, Englishmen, and Americans had responded to and analysed the destruction of their states and political orders in a succession of crises sweeping through the early modern world. Again, not all historians accept Pocock's account, but leading scholars of early modern republicanism show its influence - especially in their characterization of political theorist James Harrington (1611–1677) as a salient historical actor.[2] Subsequent research by Pocock explores the literary world inhabited by the British historian Edward Gibbon (1737–1794), and how Gibbon understood the cataclysm of decline and fall within the Roman Empire as an inevitable conflict between ancient virtue and modern commerce. Gibbon, it turns out, evinces all the hallmarks of a bona fide civic humanist,[3] even while composing his great "enlightened narrative".[4] The first two volumes of Pocock's projected six-volume series on Gibbon, Barbarism and Religion, won the American Philosophical Society's Jacques Barzun Prize in Cultural History for the year 1999. The Cambridge School Pocock is celebrated not merely as an historian, but as a pioneer of a new type of historical methodology: contextualism, i.e., the study of "texts in context". In the 1960s and early '70s, he, (introducing "languages" of political thought) along with Quentin Skinner (focusing on authorial intention), and John Dunn (stressing biography), united informally to undertake this approach as the "Cambridge School" of the history of political thought.[5] Hereafter for the Cambridge School and its adherents, the then-reigning method of textual study, that of engaging a vaunted 'canon' of previously pronounced "major" political works in a typically anachronistic and disjointed fashion, simply would not do. Pocock's "political languages" is the indispensable keystone of this historical revision. Defined as "idioms, rhetorics, specialised vocabularies and grammars" considered as "a single though multiplex community of discourse",[6] languages are uncovered (or discovered) in texts by historians who subsequently "learn" them in due course. The resultant familiarity produces a knowledge of how political thought can be stated in historically discovered "linguistic universes", and in exactly what manner all or parts of a text can be expressed.[7] As examples, Pocock has cited the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century political languages of the "common law", "civil jurisprudence" and "classical republicanism", through which political writers such as James Harrington, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke reached their rhetorical goals. British history From 1975, Professor Pocock began advocating the development of a new subject which he called "British History" (also labelled "New British History", a title Pocock has expressed his wish to shake off).[8] Pocock coined the term Atlantic archipelago as a replacement for British Isles: "We should start with what I have called the Atlantic archipelago—since the term "British Isles" is one which Irishmen reject and Englishmen decline to take quite seriously.".[9] He also pressed his fellow historians to reconsider two issues linked to the future of British history. First, he urged historians of the British Isles to move away from histories of the Three Kingdoms (Scotland, Ireland, England) as separate entities,[10] and he called for studies implementing a bringing-together or conflation of these national narratives into truly integrated enterprises. It has since become the commonplace preference of historians to treat British history in just this fashion.[11] Second, he prodded policymakers to reconsider the Europeanisation of the UK still underway, via its entry into the European Union. In its abandonment of a major portion of national sovereignty purely from economic motives, that decision threw into question the entire matter of British sovereignty itself. What, Pocock asks, will (and must) nations look like if the capacity for and exercise of national self-determination is put up for sale to the highest bidder?[12] New Zealand Alongside his ongoing work on Gibbon, has come a renewed attention to his nation of citizenship, New Zealand. In a progression of essays published since 1991, Pocock explored the historical mandates and implications of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi (between the British Crown and the indigenous Māori people, New Zealand's equivalent of the Magna Carta) for Māori and the descendants of the original 19th century European (but mainly British) settlers, known as Pākehā. Both parties have legitimate claims to portions of their national sovereignty. Pocock concludes that the issue of New Zealand's sovereignty must be an ongoing shared experience, a perpetual debate leading to several ad hoc agreements if necessary, to which the Māori and Pākehā need to accustom themselves permanently. The alternative, an eventual rebirth of the violence and bloodshed of the 19th century New Zealand land wars, cannot and must not be entertained. 1981 32 Arswa Road, Miramar, Wellington, New Zealand (New Zealand Electoral Roll) Information for Lewis Grenville POCOCK - Grandfather of this Lewis Grenville POCOCK The Grandfather of Lewis Greville POCOCK was also a Lewis Greville POCOCK he went to South Africa and there is a lot of information about him, he was baptised in London on 7th May 1832 at St Marylebone, Westminster, his parent were a George and Hannah POCKOCK

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
