Coxon family 1901, please-COMPLETED, THANK YOU

[Coxon]

Hello,

Thanks for all your help.  I am sat here with furrowed brow.  A lot to take in!!  I will sit here with my bits of paper & work it all out like a jigsaw puzzle (with bits mising!!)

Once again thanks for your help and the amazing speed with which you respond.

Hi Louise,
sorry about the rather curt message- I don't like those myself 

I just meant that once we get started we tend to spread out and gather all the different bits we can find. Sorry!

Hello Heywood,

I can see what you mean about srpeading out and gathering all the different bits of information.  On the receiving end of all that information is great.  But I think I have got my self into a tangle.  As SandraC has said on the North Yorks. page, I can't have two Mary's.  I have been sat trying to work it out.  At first it looked like I could have Mary Ann Coxon marrying Thomas Maughan, but I can't find a marriage that fits and I am still left with the problem of 2 Mary Coxon's of similar age.  The family living in Thornaby are definatley mine, right down to George Hay, Mary Coxon's brother.  So I will have to abandon the Sunderland family, although it seems strange that they have a Lillian Coxon of roughly the right age, and I can't find my Lillian Coxon!!

Sorry to everybody who has looked for me on this page & sorry for wasting your time.

Louise

NEVER a waste of time 

They may turn out to be the correct John & Lily, it might be a mistake by the enumerator - maybe Mary is Thomas Maughan's mother or maybe the wife is a second wife & there is some complex arrangement of relatives 

Maybe John & Lily are down as Brother & sister-in-law but are lodgers - all kinds of mistakes were made on the census, so all you can say is these are still possibles rather than probables, until more information comes to hand.

Do you know what happened to Polly?

Hello,

Thank you for being so magnanimous,

Who is Polly?

Louise

[SandraC]

Sorry, wasn't there a little Polly Coxon on th 1891 census in Thornaby?

Born 1890 not that I can find a birth or a death reg for her

Oh dear 

Polly, Mary,  are we all getting confused or what 

[Coxon]

Sorry,

Yes there was a Polly Mary Coxon, born in 1890, but she died in 1895 in Thornaby.  I know that one as her name is in an old Bible, along with some others, but it's incomplete.  I spent a day in Durham looking at old parish records for the Coxons only to find that they weren't there (Presbyterians, or similar,  I think)

I didn't know you had looked at the 1891 and seen Polly's name.

Thanks again
