The history of the last name Allicock

The surname Allicock is of English origin, with roots tracing back to the 16th century. It is believed to have derived from the old English words "alor" meaning alder tree and "cock" referring to a small hill or mound. This suggests that the name likely originated from a location near an alder tree on a small hill.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the parish records of St. Mary's Church in Nottinghamshire, where a William Allicock was christened in 1587. Further records from the late 16th and early 17th centuries show the name appearing in various spellings such as Allicocke, Allocock, and Allicoke, reflecting the inconsistencies in spelling during that era.

In the 17th century, the name appears in the Hearth Tax records for Gloucestershire, where a John Allicock was listed as a landowner in the village of Cirencester in 1662. This suggests that the Allicock family had established itself in the area and held a certain degree of prominence.

One notable bearer of the name was Sir Thomas Allicock (1628-1692), a wealthy merchant and landowner in London. He served as a member of the city's Common Council and was instrumental in the rebuilding efforts after the Great Fire of London in 1666.

In the 18th century, the Allicock family seems to have expanded its presence across various parts of England. Records from the parish of St. Bride's Church in London mention the baptism of a Samuel Allicock in 1721, while the marriage of a Sarah Allicock to a John Smith is recorded in the parish of St. James's in Bristol in 1763.

Another prominent figure with the surname was Captain William Allicock (1756-1818), a British naval officer who served during the Napoleonic Wars. He was commended for his bravery and leadership during several battles, including the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

In the 19th century, the Allicock name appeared in various parts of the British Empire.
