Abraham Cox and Mary Emily Baker of Batcombe
« on: Wednesday 22 March 17 01:50 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking into my relatives in Batcombe
Abraham Cox was born in 1867 and was a farm labourer.  He married Mary Emily Baker in 1887.  Mary Emily Baker was born in 1873.  They had six kids.  William Cox born in 1890.  I've been told William died in WW1 but I haven't been able to find the record.  I also have not been able to find the list of soldiers from Batcombe who died in WW1.  Any chance anyone lives near Batcombe and can take a picture of the names on the war monument?
Gladys was born in 1892 and moved to Canada but I can't find when or the passenger list.
Leonard Rolland Cox was born in 1894 and moved to Canada in 1907 and lived in Collingwood.
Harold Abraham Cox was born in 1899 and moved to Canada in 1910 and lived in Collingwood.
Cherry Cox was born in 1901.  I'm not sure if she stayed in Batcombe, I haven't found any records of her in Canada.
Mildred Cox was born in 1905 and I'm unsure if she stayed n Batcombe, I haven't found any records in Canada.
I also have not found any death records for Abraham or Mary Emily Cox.

Any help or insight would be welcomed!

Thank you Rosie!
The passenger list for Gladys is very helpful. Yes I believe that birth registration for Cherry would be the Cherry Cox in my tree as well.
Thanks!

Have you looked at this death for a Abraham Cocks birth year about 1866
Registration year Sep 1923
Shepton Mallet age 57

There is a death for a Dora Cherry M Dunford birth date 25/2/1902
March 1970 Surrey

Marriage for a Dora Cherry M Cox  1930 Guildford Surrey
Spouse Walter T Dunford
Might be worth checking   I can  see the marriages for some of the rest of the family in Canada
