Hi,
I found on the IGI a marriage in Bristol was wondering if anyone can help lookup this marriage for me.
The marriage was between Isaac Cox and Maria Bennett. 6 Sep. 1818. IGI just says Bristol it is part of the marriage collection 1538-1973 access for me is at an LDS Family history centre.
Don't know if it will have anything further but hoping it just might have Isaac's occupation which was a tailor.
Any help much appreciated.

The film number shown against that marriage on familysearch is 1595891. Searching their catalogue that film relates to BT's for St Pauls Church, Bristol

Unfortunately marriages at that time only show the couples names, if minor or of full age and the names of the witnesses.

I have an Elizabeth Cox who married George Gilbert. This was George Gilbert's second marriage and it took place in Shirehampton in 1845.

Look for family names:
Littleworth is covered by Hempstead on the 1841 census - and I can see (so far) the marriage of Emma (a Minor) in 1840 at Hempstead, father Issac, occupation, Tailor : to Charles Inwards, a Carpenter.
1841 census, South Hamlet
INWARDS
Charles 20 - Carpenter
Emma - 20

Does this burial have an age Capetown?
Isaac Cox

Burial Place St Mary De Crypt, Gloucester, Gloucester, England

Yes:
Isaac COX aged 34 years - residence: Hamlet of Littleworth
so c1799/1800
-
Looking at the Forest of Dean records and searching for an Isaac COX as a witness to weddings (using the Advance Search) - so far Isaac and Maria appear to witness 7 weddings so far, sometimes in Hempstead and sometimes at Glos. St Mary de Crypt.
1832 to 1833 - the couples were all from Littleworth
Edward BALLINGER 1832 to Ann YOUNG - Hempstead
Thomas FISHER 1832 - to Sarah Nind - Hempstead
John PEACHEY 1832 - to Mary LOVSEY - Hempstead
Cornelius BRINKWORTH 1832 - to Sarah CHAPMAN - Hempstead
Ezekiel HOOPER 1832 - to Ann ROBERTS - Hempstead
Abraham COLE 1833 - to Elizabeth SAINSBURY - Hempstead
Richard CAHILL - 8 June 1833 to Sarah VALE (by Licence, transcript also on Forest of Dean records) - Glos St Mary de Crypt
Just had a quick look at the marriages on Ancestry, Isaac COX writes his name, Maria COX signs with an X.

Thank you for the information.
You have helped prove that Isaac and Maria did have other children. It will give me something else to go on now.
A question that it does pose is would a tailor change to being a coal merchant.
Also when Harriet their daughter born in Sussex 1825 states on her marriage to Richard Brabant 1852 in Gloucester that her father is a tailor. But then she did not state that her father was deceased when she married. I will need some time to slowly go through it all.

Does this burial have an age Capetown?
Isaac Cox

Thank you again for your help. Everyone has been so helpful.

Even though Harriet did not say her Father was deceased on her 1852 M/C her Brother Joseph did say he was;
Often we have found in research unless the question is asked (is your Father dead?) it is not noted on the Cert.
As I said earlier;
JOSEPH Cox
15 Sep 1850
Marriage Place: St Peter, Walworth, Southwark, England
Father ISAAC Cox, deceased, occp Tailor
On Census his pob/dob matches 1823 Bapt Capetown noted and he stays in the London area.
Maria Cox Bapt 1830 may be a Pupil in a School in Glous 1841 Census.

Thank you for your help. Interesting that Joseph also states his fathers occupation was a tailor and not a coal merchant which makes me wonder if the last two children are that of Isaac and Maria.
Though he could have changed jobs. It will be interesting to see if anyone else is tracing this family that can help connect our Harriett with this family but it is all looking very likely.
-
Yes it may not be the same couple but people also changed occp's for various reasons.
But as Maria 1831 does not appear on any Census with Parents named Isaac/Maria I think that she is the Daug of your couple.

I had a look at the Pigots 1830 Directory for Gloucester and found Isaac Cox, coal dealer, Canal Basin. At least it does prove he was in the area in 1830. I can't find an Isaac Cox Tailor on any 1830 directories which may prove he did change occupations. I don't think there are any other directories online at least before his death.
I did find someone tracing the family that Emma married into but they are only interested in her husbands side does not look as if they have done any research into the Cox family.
I will keep searching.
Many thanks again.

Maria may be Mary Cox 1851 Census and living in Warwickshire with her Aunt/Uncle, Charles/Sarah Godwin.
Charles married Sarah Cox 29 Apr 1822 Hempstead, Gloucestershire
Both of Littleworth Hamlet
Sarah Cox was Bapt 21 Feb 1802 Yate, Glos to THOMAS/GRACE
Now a THOMAS/GRACE Cox Bapt a ISAAC Cox 3 Nov 1799, St. Mary-Northgate, Canterbury, Kent
I may be way off here but seems too much of a coincidence to me?
-
Isaac COX burial 38 August 1833, aged 34 - so the baptism found - 3 November 1799 St Mary's Northgate, Kent, seems correct.
Ancestry has the entry for the Marriage at Yate, 19 April 1789 of Thomas COX and Grace BURREL (Grace's surname is rather faint)
? Could be talking Military (Army) - Canterbury Kent was a Garrison
So, checking with the National Archives (Just Google A2a) and searching for Thomas COX, Yate

Oh wow you have done so much and it is all coming together. The clincher has to be Harriet's information this all seems to tie in. She is on the 1851 Gloucester census staying with a family her occupation was a stay maker and she states she was born in Brighton.
Thank you so much I really appreciate what you have managed to find for me.
I will now print everything out and get it into Legacy to get it all into order.
Thank you everyone especially Capetown, I didn't expect so much wonderful help from my question.
-
so the baptism found - 3 November 1799 St Mary's Northgate, Kent, seems correct.
Hi again Capetown,
Could you tell me what the source is for the Bap. for Isaac is please 3 Nov 1799.
I had a look on the IGI nothing found there.
I do have access to Findmypast have to go to the library to use Ancestry which I can do over the weekend.
Thank you again.

Sue, the information from the birth came from 'Trish' - but it is on Ancestry. When I saw Isaac was born in Canterbury, Kent, and know this area was a Garrison Town - hence checking the National Archives, which is always useful, as it shows what County Records Office information is held.
Under:
England, Select Births and Christenings 1538-1975
Name: Isaac COX
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 3 November 1799
Baptism Place: St Mary-Northgate, Canterbury, Kent, England
Father: Thomas COX
Mother: Grace COX
FHL Number: 1751626
Thomas COX information from the National Archives (also free on FindmyPast) should make useful reading.
I just Google: A2a
various websites - but it's Discovery|National Archives then just Googel Thomas COX Yate

Hi there,
Thanks for replying. Have been into Archives which told me FindMyPast had the record so now have a copy of that.
Just needed to clarify where the source was from, thank you. I will go to the library and search Ancestry as well that way I can also print the info. out.
I did go down the other day and saved the Bap. of Isaac's children, well I thought I had saved them when I copied them onto the memory stick when I got home they wouldn't open on my computer. Hate using other computers when you get so use to your own and your own way of doing things.
I have now started to get things into some order and inputting it into Legacy can then print it all out and see where the gaps are and what needs confirming.
I will try looking for Maria as well.
Thank you again.

In a bit of a hurry this morning - but Thomas COX Lodger, aged 42, Mail Guard is on the 1851 Census at Bristol St James - with William RICHARD wife Maria - may be this is Maria - but could check for marriage and the GRO Index which would give the maiden name of Maria's children.

Gone back to the Tree on Ancestry
MARY COX aged 19 and a Niece is living on the 1851 census in Birmingham Warwickshire, with her Sister Sarah who married Charles GODWIN

The Will of Thomas COX 1842 of Gloucester is right - he talks about his various Sons, and deceased Son Isaac.
Hi again,
Just wanted to check with you that the will for Thomas you found is it on Ancestry? If so I will get a copy over the weekend.

Hi Sue
Just to recap
1841 Census, Glos St Mary de Lobe
COCKS
Thomas - 73
Grace - 73
Harriet - 15 (your line)
James - 13
I sent a message via Ancestry to the COX tree and have had a couple of replies (the Contributer does have the Obituary for Thomas),
Also says the 1822 Pigot's Directory has Isaac COX as Coal Dealer in the Berkeley Canal Basin in Gloucestershire and 1830 Pigot's under Coal Dealers Canal Basin.
? and does question whether Isaac had two occupations -
Gloucester Docks was/is so close.
Thomas COX Will (1842) is on Ancestry - under, GLOUCESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND, WILLS AND INVENTORIES 1541-1858 - very clear to read - where he mentions Maria (christened 3 October 1830, Isaac's occupation, Coal Merchant) -the daughter of his late Son, Issac -
-
? as the COX family could have originated from Rangeworthy (Thomas COX 1768 Rangeworthy) there is this on the Forest of Dean records
Marriage at Rangeworthy - 25 November 1783
Isaac COX aged 43, (c 1740) Widower, Coal Miner, Rangeworthy
Hannah DEVEREL aged 40, Widow, Iron Acton

By Googling: Isaac COX Berkeley Canal Basin Gloucester
Under the heading:
Gloucester Docks - Albion Cottages
DOCK TRADERS
(includes the photograph of the two cottages)
As the canal neared completion, however, commercial activity in the area increased, and in 1826 both cottages were rented by traders who were evidently expecting to handle goods brought in by boat. The cottage on the left was occupied by Isaac COX, a coal merchant, and the other cottage by Thomas MANSELL, a stone and marble mason who also sold beer from the premises in later years. It is likely that both men made use of the horse-operated tramroad that ran past the front of the cottages to carry their products to customers in Gloucester and possibly on to Cheltenham. In 1835, Isaac COX was replaced by Robert MONK, a blacksmith who presumably provided shoes for the horses collecting goods from the docks, including those pulling wagons on the tramroad.

Afternoon,
Yes I had a copy of her Bap. Also have her marriage certificate to Richard Brabant. Harrriet sadly didn't live very long.
Thank you for the link to where Isaac was living. What a lovely little cottage.
I went to the library this morning and now have a copy of Thomas Cox's will.
Stinking hot here today so will spend the evening getting the rest of the info. into Legacy. Looking forward to printing it all out to see how it has all come together.
I really can't thank you enough for all your help.
It's been some time since I have done any research. After 30 odd years most of it has come to a grinding halt. I have started to write the different family up as I come to some that I hit brick walls on I thought it worth just trying one more time. Goes to show you never finish and should never give up.

adlojo123 Tree on Ancestry has passed this info onto me (for you) - although not sure if 100% re: Thomas COX (1768-1841) was the son of Issac COX (1736-1818) and his first wife Hannah PEARCE (1746-1780)
'Marriage 19 October 1766 Tytherington, Gloucestershire. Isaac COX, of the Parish of Rangeworthy and Hannah PEARCE of this Parish'
Gave you Isaac COX second marriage to Hannah DEVEREL - 1783 - previous reply..
Also this information on Google Books - regarding Issac COX and Hannah - written by Thomas POLE 1814 and 1816 -
If you Google, Isaac Cox Rangeworthy Gloucester - on Google Books, under the website:
History of the Origin and PCB History, Origin Adult School - it would appear Isaac and his 2nd wife Hannah (DEVEREL) attended an adult school and learning to read.
'At Rangeworthy, in Gloucestershire, not far from Bristol, lived an aged couple, Isaac and Hannah COX; the husband had been an unsteady wild kind of man, and a great boxer. The wife, aged seventy-three years, come to an Adult School, which she has attended for about three months; when she entered, she did not know any part of the Alphabet, but can now spell small words.
The husband, aged eighty years, was induced by the example of his wife to attend also; he knew some letters of the Alphabet, and can now read the easy Scripture verses in the Spelling-book; since his attendance, he has become quite an improved character; and says, the remembrance of the Scripture verses affords him great comfort when he likes awake in the night, as well as at other times.'

Hi Sue
Just to recap
Hi Capetown,
Just wanted to thank you so much for all your help. Christmas is looming so won't have much time to do genealogy until after the 25th.
I would like to wish you and your family a wonderful and safe Christmas and best wishes.
I hope to get back into it all once the 25th has past. Regards Sue

Merry Christmas to you too Sue :)

Hello I am new to ancestry and helping my husband trace his family line. He is a direct descendent of Thomas Cox 1768-1842. We are considering travel to Gloucestershire from Pennsylvania, USA this summer to find his gravesite.
Thomas Cox would be my husband's fourth great grandfather. I believe Thomas Cox (1768-1842) had a son named George who died in 1859. I have not been able to find information on him, but he apparently had a son named Thomas Cox who was born on December 11, 1842, the son of Ann and George. He died on August 22, 1910, at the age of 67.
Thomas Cox (b1842) had a son named Richard William Cox was born on November 6, 1865, in Gloucestershire, England, when his father, Thomas was 22 and his mother, Louisa, was 23. He married Annie Elizabeth Scoffield Langston in 1896. He died on December 3, 1911, in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, at the age of 46. This Richard William Cox is my husband's great grandfather and my husband looks very much like him. We have one picture.
Richard William Cox (b1865) had a son named John Langston Cox in 1896 who married Katherine Unger. John Langston Cox was born on September 22, 1896, in Carnegie, Pennsylvania when his father, Richard, was 30 and his mother, Annie, was 22. He died on November 18, 1953, in his hometown at the age of 57.
He worked for a Chemical Company in Heidelburg, PA. Any information on the Cox Family of Gloucestershire, I greatly appreciate.

It is a problem as I cant find a Marriage for George to Ann Matilda Brooks.
I see Trees have her Parents as JAMES/MARY (she is with them 1841 Census as you know) and her Sister Mira Brooks is with her in another Census.
Trouble is James Brooks/Mary Jones didn't marry until 1825 so I think Ann Matilda was illeg;
ANN MATILDA Jones christened 30 August 1818 Bream, Glous, Mother MARY Jones
So she may have married under Jones, if indeed her and George ever married and I can find no evidence of it.
This is Harriets Birth Reg;
COX, HARRIET, Mothers mn BROOKS****
GRO Reference: 1848 D Quarter in MONMOUTH Volume 26 Page 76
Her Baptism on Anc has her Father George as a Labourer.
I am struggling finding the other childrens birth reg including your Thomas.
This is a outside chance;
JONES, WILLIAM JONES, no Mothers mn***

? There are some Prison Records for a George COX on the Gloucestershire Genelogical Database and include :
George COX, 7 May 1837 aged 21, of St Briavels, Labourer
George, labourer, from St Briavels, stole a Wheelbarrow from Tidenham - and was sentenced to 4 Calendar Months at Lawfords Gate, 3 weeks of which where in solitude.
Dark brown hair, dark hazel eyes, round visage, common complextion, no marks etc. height: 5 feet 3 and a half inches.
===
George COX 16 February 1841, aged 22 - of St Briavels (Where Emma COX was christened 5 September 1841)
Again more info on Ancestry, he was given 5 months on the 3 March 1841, and he was from St Briavels, stole, a goose and fowls - description seems the same, ie. dark eyes etc. 5' 3inches
So he would be in Prison on the 1841 census, usually census don't give the christian name
