	Am I right in assuming that Wm on a census is short for William? AlsoTrying to work out another surname it looks a lot like Shillcock, has anyone any suggestions on what it might be? It definately ends in cock. lol :-) No joke on that either Gypsyjoe

	Yes, William would be short for William. Can you give more details of the census for the Shillcock name - another pair of eyes might help.

	Sorry it wasn't from a census for the Shillcock name it's from a birth certificate I have in hand. I just wasn't sure if that was actually a name but it looks like it might be after all. thanks anyway Gypsyjoe
