Title: Help to prove a birth
Post by: hols83 on Monday 17 October 11 15:31 BST (UK)
Hi all,

I am looking for birth record for my nan's brother, she believes that his name was Norman Cox and that he was born in the 1920s and died young of diphtheria. His parents were hezekiah cox and Sarah ethel cox (née Bateman) we can't seem to find any proof of him.
Any one able to fond him
Cheers
Hols

When you go to the page Cati posted the link for, and click on the grave number 630, you will see that his mother was buried in the same grave almost 32 years later.   Aah! :'(  :'(
