Hitchcox Family Difficulties! Help Needed.

[DavidJP]

Hi Claire, chempat, Keyboard86 & Mabel Bagshawe,

Many thanks for your replies, much appreciated.

Claire, many thanks for the birth index record, much appreciated. Had come across the possible alternative in Hitchcock for one of the possible marriages, but hadn't thought to check that surname for births!  Thanks.

chempat, ooops, my my mistake, I meant 1876 not 1879,  too many dates to type up, that's what it was! Date now corrected on original post.

Keyboard86, thanks for the baptism, much appreciated.

Mabel Bagshawe, just caught your post, thanks for that!

Kind regards

David

Hi,

After a little more research, I have found the following:

William Henry Hitchcox may have married as plain William Hitchcox to Mary Ann Bloxham on 12th Feb 1867 in Radford Semele (familysearch marriage record.) The marriage appears on freeBMD as Hatchcox/Hutchcox, William to Bloxam/Bloxham, Mary Ann. No wonder things are so hard to find sometimes!

Also, on familysearch census search for 1861 I find Emma Hitchcox (complete with birthplace as Southampton Claverdon! ) in Leamington Priors as an Apprentice/Student. Could someone look up this one for me please & let me have the full details?

I seem to lose Emma after 1861. I have already ruled out two marriage possibles as being the wrong Emma Hitchcox's. I seem to be losing rather to many Hitchcox's for my liking! Think that's three at the last count or maybe 4 if the William marriage turns out to be wrong!

Many thanks in advance & also for all help/assistance received so far.

Kind regards

David

Dear Researcher of the Hitchcox Family.  There are many many versions of this name.  Sorry I cannot help you with your direct problem, as our Hitchcox family section was much earlier than you want.  If you feel this would help you, I can get the information from my family tree, and set it out here for you.
Best wishes for your success.   Histiorn.

Hi again David, the 12th February 1867 William Hitchcox to Mary Ann Bloxham Radford, Warwickshire shows:-

William Hitchcox Single Father Richd Hitchcox
Mary Ann Bloxham Single Father Saml Bloxham

So father incorrect for William?

Hi Histiorn & Keyboard86,

Many thanks for your replies, very much appreciated.

Histiorn, A very warm welcome to Rootschat! Many thanks for the kind offer of info regarding earlier Hitchcox's, much appreciated. At this point in time its not needed but if ever it is I will let you know. My thanks to you again.

Keyboard86, many thanks for the marriage info re William Hitchcox, much appreciated. As you suggested the father being Richard Hitchcox instead of John Hitchcox makes it the wrong marriage! That's now 4 Hitchcox's that I have now lost track of (as noted in my reply no10), what happened to them!

Emma Holliss/Hitchcox (1843-?) Last seen in Leamington Priors as an apprentice in 1861.
William Henry Hitchcox (1847-?) Last seen at home in Lillington in 1861.
Charles Hitchcox (1849-?) Last seen at home Lillington in 1861.
James Frederick Hitchcox (1855-?) last seen at home in Lillington in 1871.

The above are the four that I have now lost and can find no trace of whatsoever! I wonder where on earth they went & what happened to them?

Kind regards

David

Hi Keyboard86,

Many thanks for that, much appreciated. That is rather sad as you say.

Eventually found the death index record for Emma, after some searching! Registered under Hitchcock!

Interestingly/oddly enough in the same quarter (Dec 1862) is registered the death of an Edward Hitchcock. Both Emma & Edward (who I believe to be John's brother) were witnesses at John's second marriage to Ann Devis the previous year (1861). I wonder what if anything happened there?

As usual with family history, more questions than answers!

Kind regards

David
