hi to all cox family researchers.  My grandfather was James Joseph Cox who worked in the post office at Bowraville until 1917, then moved all over the state working in various post offices.  I have an extensive family tree that my uncle, Ken, made and have since collated a huge folio on the life of James (mostly) and some of his brothers and sisters.
I'd be happy to share these and to receive anything you have on the extended family.

hi,  My uncle created a family tree and his information places that henry John Cox was born in 1862 at Smithtown, NSW and died at Bowraville in 1937.  He married Susannah Connelly who had been born in 1863 at County Tyrone and died in 1937 at Bowraville.  Henry John Cox's parents were Henry Cox born in 1829 Holborn , England and died 1878 at Rainbow reach.  He married Mary J keenan who was born circa 1833, Ballimore, Ireland and died 1907 at Kempsey.  Henry's parents were John William Cox born Harrow-on-the Hill, Middlesex, England in 1792 and died in Sydney in 1848.  He married Charlotte Hurdle in 1813 in London England.  Charlotte died in 1841.  John William Cox's father was a John Cox who had married a Anne Williams but I have no details about either of them.

I can't be 100% sure my uncle's research was 100% accurate but I believe that he was very thorough and accept that the details are accurate.

Hi Philip, nice to hear from you.
 I remember that I was contacted by I think by a Cox who lived in the Wollongong area,  it must be at least 5 or 6 years, regarding the Cox family. the chap's  father was James Joseph son of Henry John Cox and Suzannah who lived in Bowraville.

The information you have appears to be the same as I have ,only difference is that Henry John's grandfather was named John Williams Cox. Also I have been unable to establish when John Williams Cox wife Charlotte died in London, or when Henry the son of John Williams Cox arrived in Australia. It must have been sometime between 1841 and 1858, John Williams Cox arrived in 1841 and Henry married Mary Jane Keenan in 1858.

Good luck with your search, I have not done much on the Cox family for years, as I came to a lot of dead ends. If you think I can help with anything send me a PM with your email address 
Regards
Cass

hi Debbie,

I have a photo of Henry John Cox (at least my father said it was his grand father) who I believe was known as John Cox because his father was henry Cox and I guess using the middle name avoided confusion in the home.  Just checking - the John Cox you asked about married Suzannah Connelly?  I would happily send you a copy.  The children in the photo include my father, Noel, and some of his brothers.  I'd like to swap any information you have and as we are cousins include you and your family in the Cox tree if you are open to that.
