Fox family - Roxburghshire & Wroxeter, Huron in Canada
« on: Sunday 27 September 09 22:26 UTC (UK) »
I am trying to find out a little more about the Fox family.   

My initial information starts with James Fox and Alison (sometimes recorded as Alice) nee Stewart.   They are at Brownrig in Roxburghshire in the 1851 Census.   Curiously I cannot find them in 1841 or in the 1861 Census.

James recorded as 61 in 1851 census and  was born at Crailing in Roxburgshire.   Alison was recorded as 60 and born in England.   The children appear to have been born at Sprouston.

I am interested in two of their children, namely Agnes and Robert.   Agnes, aged 27,  married Andrew Whellans in 1859 at Morebattle.   I am aware of Agnes's history.   Robert married Jane P Whellans in 1863 in Hawick.   Therefore Agnes and Robert who were brother and sister married brother and sister Andrew and Jane.

At the time of their marriage Robert's occupation was listed as a railway labourer but by 1866 when their son James was born he was a grocer and spirit dealer.   Jane's father was also a grocer and spirit dealer at this same address in Hawick so I am supposing he worked with/for him or took over the business.

However it appears that Jane and Robert moved to Wroxeter, Huron in Canada and in 1893 their son James married Maria Louisa Stewart.   I know that James had a druggist store there in Wroxeter, and they had at least two sons, namely Stewart Fox & Harry Wheelans Fox.

Any more information would be gratefully received.
