Henry Dixon Nock

  Research Notes:

Helen Sasia notes:
By 1841 HENRY DIXON NOCK had become a farmer at Wiggins Hill near Sutton Coldfield employing 4 farm hands. He had married a lady called ELIZABETH Piddock WALKER on October 12th 1816 in Sutton Coldfield. She was the daughter of Samuel Walker and Elizabeth Piddock from Curdworth in Warwickshire. They set up home nearby and all their seven children were christened in the parish church at Curworth, St Chad's. Their first child was a daughter they named ELIZABETH born in the "hundred " of Hemlingford, Birmingham. The first record is of her baptism on February 7^th 1817, so she must have been "on the way" when her parents married.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Resided, 1837, Wigginshill, North Warwickshire England.

• Location: census in 1851 lived at, 1851, Wigginshill, North Warwickshire England. Wiggins Hill (sometimes spelled Wigginshill) is a hamlet in the North Warwickshire district of the county of Warwickshire in England. It is about halfway between Minworth and Curdworth, and was first documented in the Domesday Book as one of Turchill de Arden's manors. It was spelt then as 'Winchicelle', which meant 'The Farm of Wicga's People'. It also had a seal of antiquity in the Magna Carta, and during that time was known as Wincelle.
In the fields nearby Roman coins of the 3rd and 4th centuries have been found, also earthwork features of medieval times.
The main buildings in Wiggins Hill date to the 17th century. There is a half-timbered cottage with a large barn and a farmhouse with a Dutch gable. Wiggins Hill was a major meeting place for Quakers, with a meeting house and cottage being built there in 1724 by the group. Construction cost £100, of which £40 was raised by collections in the county. However, by the 19th century, the number of those attending was low resulting in the closure of the meeting house, which eventually fell into dilapidation.

• Probate, 16 May 1871.
