WHEW! It must have been Sarah 1801 I was thinking of- now I can go to bed witha clear head ::) without bells, whistles & the fluttering of Fairy wings.

You guys are too clever for words - my head is full of Cricket(s)!

Just a p.s. to show that John was not alone working in the Yorkshire Ironstone Mines and who that nephew belonged to.  Here's John's brother:

1881 Marske in Guisborough, Yorks
3 Dundas Street New Marske

James Cox Head 38 M b Buckden Labourer in Ironstone Mines
Sarah Wife 43 b Flampstead, Herts
John Leo Son 14 b Cheam, Surrey Labourer in Ironstone Mines
Elizabeth M Dau 10 b Rickmansworth, Herts
Eliza M Dau 8 b Marske, Yorks
William J Son 6 b Marske
Alice Dau 4 b Louth, Lincs
Florence S Dau 1 b Maddington, Lincs
Robert Robinson Lodger 47 b Scotland Labourer in Ironstone Mines

And that naughty little William 6 must have skipped along the road to his uncle and Gran and got recorded twice.  (Remember those bad lads who appeared on both ends of the school photo, having run round while the camera was moving?)

1881 Marske in Guisborough
6 West Terrace, New Marske

John Cox Head U 41 b Buckden Ironstone Miner
Sarah Cox Mother W 71 b Godmanchester Housekeeper
William Cox Nephew 6 b New Marske Scholar

Thanks to all again

Gill ;)

I did that in our college photo. Ran round the back so I was on twice. But the second one was with back to camera, so I'm preserved for posterity with a front and back view on the same photo.

And I haven't grown up since!

Marlene - how politically incorrect! :o  Though when I was first teaching we had a Master for Discipline, whose job it was to cane or slipper (with a gym shoe) any boy who stepped out of line. 

David - I'm shocked, but not entirely surprised!  I do hope you weren't mooning on that rear view. ;)

I excuse my self with the thought that I had over 50 kids in my class in a central city school with 49 nationalities in the early 70s.
Flower power hadn't reached them and they were all twice my size!

But no - one used 4 letter words or dared to play up in my class!  I wonder what they remember of me ....!
Cheers

So you thought you'd heard the last of John Cox's history, did you?  Here's the sting in the tail.

Just to re-cap, John Cox married my gt-grandmother Annie Fairey nee Church in 1884.  The marriage cert says he was a bachelor and she a widow. 

In 1891 Annie is in Lancs, married, and he is living with his mother Sarah in Buckden, widower.

In 1901 Annie has reverted to her first married name, Fairey, and is a "widow".  We have just found John in 1901, married to another lady, Eliza A, living with her and her daughter and granddaughter in Offord Cluny. :o :o :o  A check on FreeBMD shows a marriage of John Cox and Eliza Ann Skilton in 1892!

My first feeling was that Annie and John had divorced, which could account for her reverting to her previous name, but I can't find a record of that divorce.  Now I'm wondering if John was a bigamist! :-\  It could be significant that Annie inherited money from her father's estate around the time that they appear to have split up, and I know that Annie's children were horrified at the marriage in the first place, partly because it took place very soon after their father's death and partly because apparently there was a great deal of drunken celebration at the time. ::)

Oh, what a tangled web we weave......... :'(
