I am looking for help with tracing my grandfather's family. His name was James Sidney Cox, born Apr 1915 in Wandsworth.
I do not know his mother or father's names and so do not know where to start! Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi laineybug
The birth registration for James S Cox in Wandsworth Apr-Jun 1915 gives the mother's maiden surname as Coventry.
Other Cox births in Wandsworth around this time, with mother Coventry, are:
Edward C Cox 1918 and Dorothy M Cox 1912 and Emily G Cox 1913.
Do you know if your grandfather had brothers/sisters with these names?

You are going to need a copy of James Sidney's birth cert but bear this 1901 entry for London St George in mind in case his parents are Edward and Charlotte
Edward J Cox 31 b Westminster dock porter
Charlotte 24 b Pimlico
Arthur J 2 b Pimlico

Thanks for the info so far - will have to dig out his birth certificate (sure i have it somewhere). The name Coventry definitely rings a bell, but as for his siblings - I know he had loads (no idea of exact number) but they all had nicknames, which doesn't help!
-
It's his parents names that are the most important as that info will determine if it's the right 1901 entry

I have Cox in Wandsworth from at least 1851, and James and Sidney are both common names in the family. If you find your line connects to the family shown below, I would be glad to share what I have.
