Hancox Family West Bromwich

[DudleyWinchurch]

Got Marriage Certificate for Benjamin Hancox & Clara Jane Allday 19th August 1886 married in the Catholic Apostle Church West Bromwich.

I have no knowledge of the Hancox family being Catholic but wonder if this may explain why I can’t find Benjamin’s birth in about 1862. Would this be recorded some where else if they were Catholics?

Hi gatherer,

someone else with more knowledge may be able to help but I'm not sure that "catholic apostolic" is actually the same as "roman catholic".

Many thanks for the tip

Hi gatherer,
Please excuse my the delay in response, I have been a little busy of late. I am working on Sunday but will send you a more detailed message from my PC of rather than my iphone on Monday.

When I spoke to my grandad, Roy, about our recent communication he was astounded. My uncle, his son is also called colin! What a coincidence.

Regards,
 
Oliver

hi
Really  excited to find your post as it would appear we are related.
Just to confirm is your Frederick William Hancox born about 1888 to  Benjamin Hancox & Clara Jane Allday.
Also did he marry  Fanny Lunn in 1920.
 If so I would like to communicate further as I have various other bits of information.
You need to post another couple of messages here then we can private message each other.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Tina
From my research your Grandfather died 1951 and is buried in Heath Lane Cemetery with your Grandmother in 1986.
Benjamin Hancox my greatgrandfather died in 1940 & Sarah Ann my step greatgrandmother died in 1931 and are both buried in Heath lane too. Clara Jane his first wife and my greatgrandmother who died in 1893 is buried there too but in a separate grave.
Have some more info but would prefer to post privately.

Hi gatherer

Thanks for your reply.  My Nan did die in 1986 just before her 92nd birthday.  I understand you want to reply privately I am new to this roots site so how does it work to reply privately?
