Try a spot of Googling and see Tania Willis Johnson's website at.....

This includes the following reference.....

STOCKS of Shelf, Northowram & Catherine Slack, back to Daniel
who married Esther JAGGER of Shelf in 1692, and the coal-
mining and brewing Stocks family of Upper Shibden Hall, Halifax.
[For a detailed history of this family see Halifax Antiquarian
Society article "The Stocks Family of Upper Shibden Hall" by Miss
D Warrington, B.A.]

I don't know where you are based but we have a collection of
publications of the Halifax Antiquarian Society at the SoG.
