Are ther any census returns available, on one passenger list it says father living fernie B.C

This must be his Birth entry, but I cannot see him on the England or Wales 1901 census!
Births Sep Quarter of 1894
~~~~~~~~
Cox, William Henry Ledbury District 6a 412
Do you have his Marriage Certificate naming his Father?
In the 1911 census index there is a plain Henry Cox c1895 born Ledbury, living in the Bedwellty District of Monm' (where he married). You will have to obtain credits to view his household.
However, now I look again at the Ledbury area in the 1901 census there are some excellent correlations with this family and the Bedwellty index 10 years later.
RG13 Piece 2471 Folio 10 Page 12 in Homend Street
all born in Ledbury.

From FamilySearch death of William Henry Cox
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.2/MN52-JBP/p1
Death for his wife
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.2/MN5J-HMV/p1
I didn't look for any children but information on them might also be available from FamilySearch.
Canada follows the same census pattern as England. The next census release will be the 1921 census in a few years time. The United States has released their 1930 census which you might be confusing with Canada.

Too many Cox surname to distinguish more, but the parents appear to be buried here...pge 2&3
Someone might be able to do a lookup to determine who gave the info for the father at death.
You can also write through the same site above for cemetery details

Hi Sarah,
I am not a member of any of the search programs. My wife is playing around looking up some of her ancestry and notice your note.
i could maybe help with any information for the relatives here in Canada but know nothing about
anyone over there.

I hope you are still visiting this site - I have just started my ancestry quest to find family and came across your post searching for information on William Henry Cox whom I believe is my great grandfather. (my grandfather is Thomas Henry 'Harry'). Could you tell me if you have found any additional information and are willing to share - I seem to be at a dead end on this side of my family.
Thank you
