Can some kind person please look for the following family in Norfolk.
Francis Fox married Martha Leverick in 1826 in Norfolk
Children; Benjamin Leverick Fox born abt 1827; James Fox born 1841
Was there any other children in this marriage? Where did they live?
Thanks
-
Norfolk is a pretty big area to search......
Maybe it would be better to narrow it down a bit - do you know where they were married ?
This is the entry for 1861 -
RG9/1208 Folio 115 Page 3
at Horsford, Norfolk (Reg district of St Faiths)
Address looks like - Newton Road?
Francis FOX Head 70 Mar Whaler B: Hayden, Norfolk
Martha FOX wife 60 Mar Colchester, Essex
Thomas FOX son 20 Unmar Ag Lab Reepham, Norfolk
James FOX son 19 Unmar Ag Lab St Faith's.
In 1841 - perhaps they were in the Reepham or St Faith's areas.

It looks like it might be the family I am inquiring about.
From the IGI I have found a marriage for a Francis Fox and Martha Leverick in 1826 in Norfolk.
Wish to know when the son Benjamin Leverick Fox was born (abt 1827) and whether I have the right parents? He later emigrated to New Zealand and married in 1851.
Thanks for looking the Fox family up for me.
-
In the IGI - the marriage is listed as 29th June 1826 at St Mary's, Reepham with Kerdiston.....
I have a Norfolk census for 1841 & 1851 - I will search that area for you....but it may take a little while !

Just in case you are not aware of this website

I noticed there are a lot of FOXs, so it might be worth checking to see if any of yours are there.
Good luck

Hi Mirk,
I saw your request om Rootschat so am answering here. Iy is my family and I have been researching for some time.
GENERATION 1.
FRANCIS FOX married Ann Bulack 6.11.1781
I have one death for him dated 22 Feb 1788.
They had 3 children as follows:-
Mary Fox born 1782
Frances Fox born 1785
Francis Fox born 1788.
It is rather peculiar they would have named 2 of their chidren Francis. The Frances is the girls spelling.
GENERATION 2.
FRANCIS FOX born 1791 married Martha Leverick born 1801 on 4 June 1826 at St Marys at Reepham with Kerdison Norfolk.
Their children were as follows :-
Benjamin Leverick Fox born 1827. ( This was the original Benjamin Fox ) and he was married in NZ in 1876 to Jane Harlin then in 1907 to Mary Murphy. There was another wedding for Benjamin Fox in 1918 to Mima Milne Sutherland. I daresay this marriage was Benjamin Fox the nephew of Benjamin Leverick Fox...
Mary Leverick Fox born 1829
Francis Leverick Fox born 1832
Peter Bulack Fox born 1834
James Fox born 1837
Thomas Lornick Fox born 1838
There was also listed a Walter Fox born to Francis and Martha 1846 but it seems a lot later than the others but I suppose funnier things have happened.
Benjamin Leverick Fox was evidentally drowned when helping shipwreck victims in New Plymouth and his brother Peter was killed in 1911 in Lyttleton after being gored by a bull. I will get dates for these unfortunate happenings on Friday.
The family all lived in Norfolk.
My great grandfather was James Fox born 1837.
I have most of the descendants up to the present day if you would like them. Just let me know.
Regards Claire Reid

Hi Warren,
I am very sorry but Claire's email address is no longer working, the notification has sadly just bounced back to us. I have done a quick search with the information given but I have not been able to find a new address for her.

Hello to all researchers Including a big thank you to Trish (formerly of Hamilton) is that the latest generation of the Fox family in your arms? Also to Dawn and Sarah.
Trish your help has filled in some gaps and that's always pleasing.

Hi Warren & Trish
I'm sorry for breaking the news in this way but we have made further investigations and believe that Claire may have passed away in 2014.
http://www.amemorytree.co.nz/personnotices.php?personid=261085
Of course there is no way of knowing apart from contacting the funeral directors and family but the moderating team believe that is out of the remit we have here.
We also did a couple of google searches using her name & Timaru and found a couple of other online references for her.

Thank you for that Dawn.
I often think people might have passed away when they are hard to contact but I dont like to suggest that to new queries from other descendants of a Family.
Hi Warren,
No that is my 1st Granddaughter born here in Sydney.
I am not related to the Fox Family at all but was just trying to help.
Trish :)
