Find Ancestors

Yes Annie-Rn you have the same people i have i will have to send for the marriage cert of ggrandfather edward cox and Margaret Davies The marriage was pontypridd i think it was 1878 will check later. does anybody know how i can find anything on travellers to see if i can find Edward/Edwin. And a very big thank you to you all.

I have just found the Publow Edward in 1881 living with his uncle and working at a hotel in Woollard. The plot thickens From 1871 census Edward looks like Mary and Thomas's grandson could he have been registered by grandma 1871 Old Street Pensford Thomas Cox 56 Ag lab Mary Cox 60 publow Janet Cox daughter unmarried folder at paper mill Edward Cox grandson 6 scholar . 1881 census Charles Cole head 32 farm labourer Marina Cole wife 39 George Edward Cole son 4 months Bertha Cox wife's daughter Mary Cox wife's mother Edward Cox nephew worer in hotel

There was a large Cox family in the Pensford area. I have Edwin Cox born 1839 in Stanton drew in my tree. His father was William Cox b0rn 1799 in Pensford. I know there were at least two other William Cox's born about the same time in Pensford.. If you do find a Pensford link give me a shout and I may be able to help. Incidently my Edwin has never turned up as Edward. I found these in 1851 in Publow Thomas Cox 46 Labourer Mary Cox 44 Ann Cox 13 Staymaker Marina Cox 12 scholar Jonathon Cox son 9 Edwin Cox 4. The 1865 Edward born Publow is this Thomas's grandson If the family were coalminers Clutton was the centre of the coal mining industry. Edwin Cox 4 I have census details for this family in 1861 and 1871 but Edwin is not with them.

Do you have a birth cert to confirm her name was Margaret Davies as cannot seem to find a marriage in the area they lived and Margaret was from Zoe

If you get Edwards marriage cert it should tell you who his father is! Zoe

Zoe Rob yes you have my ggrandfather Edward 1901 living in Ystradyfodwg. but i have 2 birth cert for him one 1865 and 1 for 1867 with diffrent set of parents am trying to find out which one is me gggrandfather. Is it Father Thomas or Father Edwin/ Edward?

Ok looked in 1871 and only 2 Edward Cox's born Somerset 1865 +/-1 so Edward Cox abt 1865 Publow, Somerset, England Grandson Pensford Somerset Janet Cox abt 1842 Pensford; Willand, Somerset, England Daughter Pensford Somerset Mary Cox abt 1811 Publow, Somerset, England Wife Pensford Somerset Thomas Cox abt 1815 Pensford, Somerset, England Head Pensford Somerset and I think this is the other Edward in Wales in 1901 as they are there by 1881 Albert Cox abt 1861 Cleeve, Somerset, England Son Yatton Somerset Charles Cox abt 1825 Wrington, Somerset, England Head Yatton Somerset Edward J Cox abt 1865 Cleeve, Somerset, England Son Yatton Somerset Ellen Cox abt 1825 Bowberrow, Somerset, England Wife Yatton Somerset Thomas Cox abt 1859 Cleeve, Somerset, England Son Yatton Somerset William G Cox abt 1863 Cleeve, Somerset, England Son Yatton Somerset Betsy Merrick abt 1800 Licktown, Somerset, England Lodger Yatton Somerset

Do you have Edwards marriage cert to verify fthers name? Zoe

Edward Cox abt 1865 Publow, Somerset, England Head Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan View Record John Cox abt 1891 Ystrad, Glamorgan, Wales Son Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan View Record Joseph Nromas Cox abt 1888 Ystrad, Glamorgan, Wales Son Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan View Record Margaret Cox abt 1866 Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire, Wales Wife Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan View Record Susannah Cox abt 1889 Ystrad, Glamorgan, Wales Daughter Ystradyfodwg Glamorgan This is the edward Cox i am looking for.

Think this is Edwin/Edwards birth so originally called Edward as on his sons birth cert Name: Edward Cox Year of Registration: 1845 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Taunton (1837-1974) County: Devon, Somerset Volume: 10 Page: 464

Looks like his name was Edwin in 1851 and then in 1861 they called him Edward then he changed back to Edwin and I think he is in the 1891/1901 as Edward with a new wife Amy Zoe

I thought she was talking about Edward's father Edwin/Edward! Just trying to establish what his name was! Zoe

Did your ggfather marry? If so, get his marriage certificate and this will give you the name of his father - then you'll know which is the correct birth certificate

Could this possibly be him 1851 Head a ?Master Hardware man? Ann Cox abt 1842 Taunton, Somerset, England Daughter Taunton St Mary Magdalen Somerset Edwin Cox abt 1846 Taunton, Somerset, England Son Taunton St Mary Magdalen Somerset John Cox abt 1838 Taunton, Somerset, England Son Taunton St Mary Magdalen Somerset Robert Cox abt 1807 Bristol, Somerset, England Head Taunton St Mary Magdalen Somerset Robt Cox abt 1836 Taunton, Somerset, England Son Taunton St Mary Magdalen Somerset Susan Cox abt 1811 Ulfculm, Devon, England Wife Taunton St Mary Magdalen Somerset Susan Cox abt 1842 Taunton, Somerset, England Daughter Taunton St Mary Magdalen Somerset 1861~ only Edwin/Edward can find born Taunton right time Head is a dealer in chinaware Union Place Edward Cox abt 1845 Taunton, Somerset, England Son Taunton St James Somerset Edward Cox abt 1857 Taunton, Somerset, England Grandson Taunton St James Somerset Robert Cox abt 1801 Glastonbury, Somerset, England Head Taunton St James Somerset Sarah Cox abt 1849 Taunton, Somerset, England Daughter Taunton St James Somerset Susan Cox abt 1803 Turton, Devon, England Wife Taunton St James Somerset Susan Cox abt 1851 Taunton, Somerset, England Daughter Taunton St James Somerset

1871 Edward Cox abt 1867 Taunton, Somerset, England Traveller St James Somerset Edwin Cox abt 1844 Taunton, Somerset, England Traveller St James Somerset Julia Cox abt 1846 Taunton, Somerset, England Traveller St James Somerset But it makes sense this is his father as his mother is Julia maybe they misheard name when doing cert Zoe
