COX in Ruardean, Glos

[Fairmeadow2]

Seeking information about the birth, baptism or family of Susan COX, born c.1845 in Ruardean, Glos (according to the 1901 census).

She married John JONES, a plasterer, at some date before 1868 and lived in and around Coleford, Glos, from <1868->1901.

John

Just to start you off John, could this be their marriage :

Susan Cox        
John Jones            
Monmouth, Vol 11a, page 82

Kind regards,

According to the 1881 and 1891 returns she was born approx 1842, so this looks a possibility :

Birth, Mar qtr 1842   
Susan Cox

I've just had a look at a tree on Ancestry which claims John and Susan married
on the 24th December 1866 at the Independent Chapel, Monmouth. This might be worth checking up on.
