Cox family
« on: Thursday 22 September 11 18:51 BST (UK) »
My grandfather, James Sidney Cox was born 21/4/1915 in Wandsworth, London.
I am trying to find the names of all his siblings and wondered if anyone could help.
I would also like to know his parents names.

Thanks

As the birth is after 1911, cant use any census to help establish his parentage, so his certificate of birth will prob be need - bonus is that after 1911/12, his mothers maiden name will be shown in the index, so might be able to deduce a marriage of his parents from that.

Anyways ... I'll see if I can find his birth index entry.

 :) so now to see if theres an obvious marriage


any thoughts on these 3 Male Cox to female Coventry possibilities - ie both names appear on the Index page?

Marriages Jun Quarter of 1891 
~~~~~~~~
 
Cox,  William    Pancras  1b 89    possibly to Susan Emma Coventry

~~~~~~~~
Marriages Sep Q of 1898   
~~~~~~~~
 
Cox,  Edward James     St. Geo H. Sq.  1a 1069    possibly to Charlotte Katherine Coventry


~~~~~~~~
Marriages Sep Q of 1911   
~~~~~~~~
 
Cox,  William     Fulham  1a 575    Possibly to Constance M A Coventry

Given the births that KB found, I'm not sure of any of those marriages being correct.

you really need the lad's Birth Cert to be sure of all this  :)
