I am looking for the ancesters of Cecil Carroll Fox, born in Canada, Ontario..possibly Cobourg area. around 1895?? The family home was located on Walton st. Cobourg. His father was the son of Irish Catholic immigrants. He died when Cecil was 8 years old.He was 1 of 7 children. Names; Vince, Frank, Cecil, Basil, Alma, Mary and ?. He married Dorothy Ann Milner who immigrated from England with her parents .She had a sister named Josephine. She was 20 when she married Cecil, he was 28. They lived at 110 Chapel St. Cobourg Ontario, Canada. They had 4 children; Annie, Edith, William(Bill) and Agnes Farry. I am the grandaughter of Cecil and Dorothy's son. I believe I am the only survivor of the Fox and Milners. I would appreciate any information oubut the Foxes and the Milners. Thank you.

He was born in Cobourg July 8 1895, his birth was registered as Cecil Carl Fox (probably misunderstood by the registrar, since it appears to be a family name - see below). His father is John C. Fox and his mother is Ellen Farry. Other births in the Ontario listings to the same parents: James Fox born 25 Nov 1893, John Francis Box born Oct 5 1896, Bazil Fox born Sept 2 1898, Edward Fox born 14 June 1890, Mary Fox born 5 November 1901, Alma Fox born 8 November 1903, Mary Bernadine Fox, born Nov 30 1904, Gertrude Evelyn Fox born 15 November 1907 I assume the first Mary died and they recycled the name. Mother Ellen's middle name is Christina. Father John is a farmer. He is also listed as a merchant, and in the 1901 census he's a blacksmith. Ellen and John were married in Cobourg 25 June 1889. They were both 25 years of age, Catholics, married by Rev. E.H?? Murray, his parents are Michael Fox and Cecilia Moran, and her parents were Edward Farry and Elizabeth Carroll. Witnesses are Joseph Fox and what looks like Sarah ..? Laroy? Michael Fox died Nov 2 1882 age of 80, of old age, from Ireland, death reported by son John. Roman Catholic. Cecilia Fox died June 18 1911 of appendicitis, date of her birth is Nov 14 1838, she's Irish, her parents were James Moran and Elizabeth Conoly. In 1901, John's date of birth is Sept 11 1863, Ellen's is Dec 27 1863. Son Vincent is given as born 14 June 1890, Cecil is 8 July 1895, Francis is given as being born 8 July 1896 (obviously wrong- the birth dates above are from the provincial register), and Basil is 8 Sept 1899. I would take from this that James and Edward may have died. Incidentally John had a sister called Margaret Fox who married a James Fox 18 June 1894. Hope this helps. That should be enough to get you going. Mary G.

Hi Dee, This is not directly connected to your FOX family however there may be a connection back in Ireland. Zacharias GRIMASON son of John GRIMASON and Ann BURRELL of County Armagh married Elizabeth FOX daughter of John FOX and Elizabeth Mc CABE on the 26th December 1853 at Drumcree ,Armagh, Ireland. They were of the Church of Ireland Faith as far as I am aware. John FOX is listed as having been a Weaver on Elizabeth GRIMASON otherwise GRIMSHAW's death record when she died on 4th November 1916 aged 80 at Dennistoun, Glasgow, Scotland. Hope this may be of some assistance in tracing your FOX's back to Ireland. Bye the way I ma not directly related to this family they are part of my One Name Study on the GRIMASON surname. David
