Bocock Sisters Wanted!

Here is an interesting item from the Salt Lake Tribune (6 Jul 1887). The Bocock sisters apparently inherited something (presumably a small amount of money) and the Solicitors in England took out this article in the Salt Lake Tribune in an attempt to locate them 20 years after they had immigrated to the United States.

Does anyone know the outcome of this? What was inherited and from whom did they inherit it?

Another Document for Charles Law (1832-1862)


It looks as if Charles Law appeared in the Deseret News, 26 Oct 1859, page 8. The "article" was entitled "Save the Cost!" and reports Charles Law among many others who are delinquent on their territorial and county taxes. The list indicates that he was in the Salt Lake 13th Ward in 1858 and was delinquent to the amount of $2.00.

If this is our Charles Law, this would indicate that upon arrival in Salt Lake City, Charles lived in the 13th Ward until the removal to Springville. Charles arrived in Salt Lake on September 26, 1857, subsequently married Hannah Bocock (and a little later, Elizabeth Bocock), and did not relocate to Springville until April 1857.
