Ripping yarn of a chains plot

expressandstar.com:features:life: "Pat Woolley of Derwent Close, Pensnett, and originally from Chapel Street, Brierley Hill, has uncovered a fascinating family story to do with relations on her mother's side - the Nocks of Brierley Hill.
It all came about because an American lady was looking for information on those Nocks who emigrated to the United States in 1903. She is Gladys Runkel of Jonestown, Pennsylvania, who is now 80 years old.

A prosperous Titus Nock and his wife Harriet living in America
Gladys is the grand-daughter of a Titus Nock, while Pat is descended from a Ben Nock. They are still trying to work out the exact relationship between the two men but in doing so they have brought to the fore a story that would have remained hidden without their investigations. " By Dr Carl Chinn no less !
