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. I have been researching the name Little (Liddell) and Cox names in Berkshire as these two families are connected over the years by marriage. I do have a William Cox born bef March 23 1770 who married Mary before 1802. They have three children that I know of James born bef July 1803, Susannah born bef Aug 17 1806, and William born bef Feb 25 1810. I hope this info is of some value to you.
