I am trying to find information on Lucy Fox who moved to Downham when she married in 1948. IO do not have any other information apart from her death in 1969 when she was aged 77.
-
Was Fox her maiden name or if it was her married name, do you know who she married?
-
who did she marry in 1948???
Was it a second marriage???

Hi Genie and Suz, thanks for your rapid response. I don't know who she married, but I have now found out the ref which is Oct/Nov/Dec Downham 4b 859, so I shall be able to get a copy of the marriage certificate. This was a second marriage, her first husband William Maycock died in Huntingdon, 1940.
-
Hi Tibby the husband on that reference is Arthur J Fox

Thanks Keyboard thats a great help. This site is quite fantastic for tracing lost family members !
With regard to her first marraige, Genie, I had already got that on my family tree. I then lost trace of them after the marriage and only recently discovered that William Maycock died in Huntingdon during 1940. Thanks everone

Hi Tibby,
in 1911 there's a Lucy Bowers, 18, b. Wolston, Warwickshire who was working in Coventry for a Charles James Fox who was from Norfolk :-\
Meanwhile, Wm Maycock was living with his wife, Eliza and their 7 children, age ranges (14- 6mths).
In 1901, this same Lucy was living with her widowed mother in Wolston. RG13/2914/42/14

the Lucy Bowers b Wolston Warwicks had the middle name Louisa and her birth was reg Sept qtr 1892
Lucy's death reg gives birth as 13 Oct 1892
I can only find a plain Lucy Bowers irth reg Dec qtr 1892 Holbeach 7a 384
If this is the correct Lucy then she had a twin brother Fred/
Do let us know who the marriage cert gives as father

Hi Suz and Genie.
My Lucy was born in the district of Holbeach, Lincolnshire. To be exact she wass born at 5.30 a.m. on 30th October 1892 in the village of Sutton St James. On the birth certificate her father is shown as Watson Bowers a farm labourer.
Lucy Bowers then became Lucy Maycock when she married William in 1916 at Huntingdon, and after his death inj 1940 she married a Arthur Fox in Downham during 1948.
Lucy did have a twin brother, Fred, and came from a large family. What I wonder now is were there any children from her marriage with either of these gentlemen ?
-
It's doubtful Lucy had children with Arthur Fox as she would be c. 56 years of age when she married him
Suz

there are several birth registrations Maycock -mother's maiden name Bowers
but there is a marriage reg 1922 in Bicester reg didt for Jesse F Maycock and Emily E Bowers -and as most of the birth regs are 1923 onwards =-and most of them registered Bicester then maybe Lucy didn't have children

The William Maycock who died Hunts in 1940 -according to probate records left a widow names Eliza Ann -and there was a Charles Vixctor Maycock mentioned too???
Might you have an incorrect death reg???

I agree with suzard.
The probate record rules out the Wm. Maycock b. 1867, d., Hunt's, 1940, age 73.
He was the one who was married to Eliza Bull in 1896 and
they did have a son, Charles Victor.
