[This message is being sent to both the HEREFORD and the MIDMARCH mailing lists - so if you subscribe to both, my apologies for clogging up your inbox!] Hi folks! If anyone has access to the 1871 or 1891 census folios for the area covering Bye Street, Ledbury, I would really appreciate a look-up on the following family: ------------------------------------------------------------ 1881 Census Place: Ledbury, Hereford, England Dwelling: Cottages, Bye Street Source: FHL Film: 1341622 PRO Ref: RG11 Piece: 2582 Folio: 73 Page: 49 ------------------------------------------------------------ COX EDWARD Head M 36 M General Labourer GLS Tewkesbury COX LOUISA Wife M 34 F ---------- HEF Ledbury * COX THOMAS Son U 14 M Labourer HEF Ledbury COX ANNE Daur U 11 F Scholar HEF Ledbury COX ROSANNAH Daur U 08 F Scholar HEF Ledbury COX THOMAS Son U 03 M Scholar HEF Ledbury COX CAROLINE Daur U 01 F ---------- HEF Ledbury ** ------------------------------------------------------------ * nee Louisa BAKER, christened on 21 Jan 1846 in Ledbury, to William BAKER & Mary Ann (nee BIRT?). ** my great-grandmother, later Mrs Henry WILLAVIZE, Mrs SMITH (Oooh - isn't he going to be easy to find!), and lastly, Mrs David MORGAN. In 1871, there ought to be a couple of older daughters still at home (Paulina (Polly), Mrs POWELL, & Mary Ann, Mrs WILLIAMS). By 1891, another 5 or 6 of the extensive brood might have appeared (Arthur, Ginny, Edith (Edie), Elsie, Gladys, Lily, and perhaps others). By 1901, most of the COX family might have disappeared off to Dukestown & Tafarnaubach in Breconshire, or neighbouring Tredegar in Monmouthshire, but that tribal migration might have occurred a couple of years later! If you know anything at all about this family, I'd love to hear from you! x Kate.
