I can't believe that there's actually a street called Pickstock. It's an unusual name and we're pretty scarce.
As far as it's origins are concerned we have reason to believe that its old English. There is a very,very small village called Pickstock in the county of Shropshire which has a 12thC stone cross so we believe it to be at least that old.
The usual interpretattion of its meaning is:
Pick - Picketted or fenced
Stock - Enclosure or closed farmyard, stockade.
My own family are from the NW of England where some may have been sailors which could explain them turning up in Belize. But I'am not familiar enough with the history of Belize to know wether this is likely.
