1871 cen/parish of rhu
« on: Sunday 02 March 14 15:05 GMT (UK) »
Can any one help please, I poss have a William F Cox bn 1827 India, living in the  civil parish of
 Row/Rhu Dunbartonshire, the Ancestry info gives it as RD Row, ED 9A, H.SCh 44, I need to know
 if he was a widower, as I am trying to find the death of his wife Anna Maria and narrow the time to
 look for her death, as there seem to be a few Anna's Cox's  about.

Hi Mick

It says he is 'unm' - unmarried.

Could be an error but the enumerator is using 'widow' to describe his sister Eliza who's living there so the word is clearly known to him ;) .

Thanks

Mick, do you have a maiden surname for wife Anna Maria? If she died in Scotland, you can search with both married and maiden surnames which can make it easier to search.

Did William and Anna Maria have a son William L Cox, born c. 1855 in Madras and studying in Fife in 1871?

Old post here www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=55571.0

Mentions William F Cox remarrying, although does't make sense with both years quoted being 1857:


On September 27 1857 at St Thomas's, Braddan, Isle of Man he married Anna Maria Daniel. This lady was Robert's mother. William Frederick married again, Eugenie Ugna Cannon in 1857. A year earlier their son John Frederick had been born.


This is corrected later in the next post by Lesanne.

Also adding this further link with further info, if you haven't come across it as yet www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=591054.0

Just going to post an item when all that other info appeared, very interesting, any way William F was married to Anna Maria Daniel (s)  on the IOMan in 1857 and he then went on to marry a Eugenia Ugna Cannon in Lambeth London in 1878, it would seem that the William F in Rhu in Scotland is my man, as was picked up the sister Eliza at the same address, but why unmarr is
puzzle, but there again the census's are an enigma, its the info between the lines, looking at all
the work some others have done need closer inspection, there might be some good info there,
another point did Anna die in Scotland or India , I cannot find a good match for the death, or perhaps she did not die there marriage broke up and that would be a fair reason for him to be
unmarr, a bit of a sore point.

I can't see a likely death for her in Scotland between 1857-1877  :-\

Was there only one child from the marriage? https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGZD-3K3  Where was son Robert for 1871?

Hi Monica, yes that's all I got alas, as I said poss the marriage broke up and they went there own ways, there are to many Anna Maria's dyeing in this period and as they moved about a lot, will have to put it on the back burner like a great many others, many thanks to all for your help..mick

On the Scottish side, re death, as I mentioned earlier, unlikely (but never say 100%  ::)) that Anna Maria died there. You can search with both her surnames (Cox and Daniel) leaving out first names if need be, and nothing showed.

Hard one for you at this point.

I don't have access England/Wales records but where was he in 1861 Census?
