General Questions
- Why build the Pidcock Family website?
The Pidcock surname is certainly unique and one might think that there are only a few people with this last name. Actually, there are thousands of Pidcocks, with many paternal lines, living all over the world.
My name is Paul M. Pidcock, living in Canada, and this website contains some of my life history!
Our objective is to build a well sourced website tree with as many Pidcocks and their associated families and branches as possible. Some of the larger branches include Fraser, Sorby, Brodie, Henzey, Armstrong, Hissey, and Brettell surnames. If you know of individuals that we have missed or if our information needs correction, please email us!
We also accept and display images of Pidcock's and their families, however all information on living people is private. All sources and research text, documents and images are also private and can only be viewed by authenticated family members.
- What Pidcock Family Ancestoral line does the website cover?
This website concentrates on the male line of Pidcock's starting from William Pidcock of Bakewell who died in 1630 and married Margaret Pidcock. He is the earliest traceable male of our branch! In the year William died, Margaret gave birth to a son, also named William, who continued this branch of the Pidcock tree! However, the ultimate goal is to connect as many other branches into our paternal line. At present, we have listed over 4,700 individuals, with more than 450 with the Pidcock surname.

- What software is used for the Image Gallery?
Coppermine is a very good website image software. Look for the link to Register and once you have a user name and password, the login is easy. The FAQ's are there if you need an overview.
CoppermineFetch is a great modification to Coppermine which allows for, among other features, images to be displayed outside of the gallery. Once you learn the basics of php, how to include them into html pages through, say SSI, and cpmfetch's various atrtributes, the world is your oyster!
