Hi everyone, My great great great grandfather was John COX, born in the early 1790’s in Cornwall, (1792 according to the 1851 census, and his burial index on 26 January 1860 gives his age as 69, so a birth year of approx 1791). He married Ann Thomas at Caerleon, Monmouthshire on 6 December 1824, and a few years later they moved up the Welsh Valleys to the Llanwenarth area where their daughter/my great great grandmother Hannah was born in 1839. In the 1841 and 1851 censuses as well as on some burial records, John is recorded as a Cordwainer or Shoemaker. So far I’ve had no success in finding his parents. There could be a clue in their only son, named John James COX who was born in 1840 and who died in 1844. As Ann’s father was also John, it made me wonder if John COX’s father might have been James, John James then being named after both his grandfathers. I’ve noticed a few John Cox’s in the censuses who were born in Cornwall around the same time as my John, but searching with help from a friend, there appears to be no baptisms of any John COX’s in Cornwall through the 1790’s, in fact, I’m told no baptisms of a John COX prior to 1802. Are there any COX family researchers out there who may be able to shed some light on my John’s family please? Many thanks in advance, best wishes to all, Jon
