I have some Coopers and Coxes from Shropshire on my tree, but I don't think they're closely related to each other. Are your Coxes from Bridgnorth, Shrops or Ledbury, Herefordshire, and are they related to any Badhams?

I haven't done much research yet on the Coxes, because they're not very close relations, but if they come from the same area as your Coxes, there may be a connection. I don't recognise any of your names, though. One of my ancestors married an Arthur Cooper from St. George's, Wrockwardine, Shropshire. Again, I haven't done much research on his family yet. If you want to look at my tree, search for Arthur Cooper b 1846, click on Mary to send me a message, and I'll open my tree for you.
