Good morning Diane, Thank you for answering my post. My Liddells came from Alva and Alloa in Stirlingshire and as far as I know, none were in Berkshire. My Liddell branch came out to Australia in the early 1820s and stayed. The COX line, of which my wife is a descendant, came out to New Zealand in 1872. The family that came out were Jesse COX (son of James) and his wife Eliza BROMLEY and two children HarryWalter Bliss and Emily Minnie Ruth. A third child Annie Florence Jocelyn was born on board ship on the way out. Annie was named after the ship they were travelling on, "The Lady Jocelyn" There were no Williams that I know of in the family of James who was born c1811/13. Who knows what I may find when I find his actual birth and parents. The James birth you have is a tad early for mine but maybe a cousin. Odd that you have Liddell and Cox families connected back in the 1700s and I, a Liddell, married a Cox in the 1970s. I will keep your information to hand just in case something comes up later down the track. Again my thanks. Colin in a warm Brisbane. ----- Original Message ----- From: Diane Godbout To: berkshire@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, February 26, 2010 2:08 AM Subject: Re: [BRK] James Cox Death in Windsor Union Workhouse Hi Colin While I don't believe I have picked up all the threads of your e-mails I do note the spelling of you last name.

Jeff, Thank you for that, it is a great site, I have had that in my favourites folder for some time. I have had a good look through that site and the article on the Windsor Workhouse in particular, it was there I discovered the Berkshire Record Office did not have all the death years I wanted. The relatives list sounds interesting but a tad difficult to access from out her in Australia.{;-) My thanks again, I do appreciate all your help.

Elizabeth, Thank you for looking in the Berkshire Burial Index for my James. His name seems to have been a fairly common one in that area and that time. At this stage I do not know where his wife is buried as I have not yet obtained her death certificate. I was hoping to find the death of James and apply for the both of them at the same time. Her death was registered in Windsor if that is any help. In the 1881 Census Ann and James were living in Montague Cottages (which were close to the Bricklayers Arms) in the Civil Parish of Town/Village Clewer, Rural Sanitary District of Windsor, Eclesiastical Parish of St.Andrew. I can only presume they were still living there when she died in 1883. Do you know what happens to a person living in the Workhouse when they die, does the Workhouse have it's own graveyard or are they buried in the local cemetery? Again my thanks. Colin ----------------- I cannot see a likely James Cox in the Berkshire Buriel Index (there are a lot of them !)

12 February 1800: A youth named John Hutt of Bray, Nr. Maidenhead, went to the neighbouring village of Touchen End. He broke into Touchen End bakery which was owned by Thomas Pearman and his wife Anne. When Anne disturbed John, he hit her over the head with something heavy, breaking her skull and killing her. He was hung at Reading Jail on Thursday 6 March and his body publicly dismembered at Reading Town Hall. www.royalmaidenhead.co.uk

Does anyone on the List know if there are any records of the inmates of the Windsor Union Workhouse held anywhere other than the Berkshire Record Office? My wife's gg grandfather James COX b. c1811/13, spent the last 20 years of his life there from approximately 1883, after his wife Ann died, to sometime between 1901 and 1911. I have him there in the 1891 and 1901 Census and I am reliably told he is not there in 1911. I am unable to find a death for him in the FreeBMD so my next step is to try and access the Workhouse records to see when he died. There appears to be a problem with this as the records held by the Berkshire Record Office only cover the Inmates death records from, (1835-48, 1867-88, 1908-32). It would appear that the essential years I want are not fully recorded. Can anyone help or have any suggestions? Colin.

Do you know who fills out the Census when they are in the Workhouse? His age has varied each year. In the 1841 Census he said his age was 30 giving him a birth year of 1811, his wife Ann said she was 25 giving her a birth year of 1816. Their first child was born in 1833 which woud mean a marriage at age 15 or so. Maybe age 25 was a misheard 29 which would fit with the ages given in the following census. 1851 James 38 Ann 37 1861 James 48 Ann 47 1871 James 58 Ann 57 1881 James 68 Ann 67 Ann died in 1883 age 70 which fits with the Census age. James in the 1891 Census is in the Windsor Union Workhouse and his age is unreadable, there are two lines through and I cannot even guess what it is, it should read 78. 1901 James is 80 and that should read 88. Another person on this List had a look at the 1911 Census and could not find James in the Workhouse, so the presumption is he died some time between 1901 and 1911.

William and Jeff, I have just done another search on FreeBMD usingthe following parameters. COX Mar 1900 to Dec 1905 Windsor (to Mar 1974) and I get in the result a Richard COX age 88 in the Sept QTR 1902 Windsor Vol 2c Page 243, no James and no July QTR 1902. The Volume and Page numbers are the same though. This is weird!

Hi William, Thank you very much for doing that lookup for me, it is greatly appreciated. I would say that is him, the place and age is right. Where did you find that, I cannot find that record on FreeBMD?

Hi Colin There is a death registered in the Jul qtr of 1902 for James Cox aged 88 (Estimated birth 1814).

I am hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction. My wife's gg grandfather James COX b.c 1811/13 (depending on which Census you look at) Clewer, Windsor, married Ann WROTH date and place unknown presumably Clewer Windsor. I have them in the 1841,51,61,71 and 81 census with their family, Ann b.1836, Edwin b.1838, Jesse b1841, Susan b.1844, Mary Ann b.1845, Antoine b.1846, James b.1848, George b.1849, Thomas b.1851, Walter b.1853 and Emily b.1856. I have found what I believe is the death of Ann in 1883 aged 70 registered in Windsor 2c 286 . In the 1891 and 1901 Census James is living in the Windsor Union Workhouse, I don't have access to the 1911 Census so I cannot check that to see if he is still alive. I have searched FreeBMD from 1901 to 1920 without finding a suitable candidate. If James died in the Windsor Workhouse, I presume his death would be registered at Windsor. Any thoughts or suggestions? I would also welcome contact with any descendants or anyone researching this family. Colin in a hot and muggy Brisbane

Apologies. the entry that William found is for Richard COX not James COX.

The entry is in FreeBMD. There are two different 'Windsor' districts in the FreeBMD picklist of districts for searching: Windsor(to Mar 1974) and Windsor & Maidenhead (from Jun 1974) If you chose the latter you would not have found the entry. Sometimes 'less is more' so it may be quicker simply to choose the surname and the district and year range.
