Hi Gill
Just out of curiousity have you got John Cox's 2nd marriage cert?
Could you ask, specifying that he must be a bachelor or a widower? (you'd need to think about which state of matrimony is most useful to you!
)
I'm left wondering if your John Cox actually died elsewhere and is therefore hard to track - not unlike my William Fairy- it took four years of harrasment to the Hunts Record office before they found his birth with the correct parents and it hasn't yet turned up on Free BMD! In fact they have rescanned some of those pages so we have Gerrard Fairey June Q 1848 and Hannah Farey June Q 1848 but I suspect they have omitted the page with William Fairy which I found by checking the very old fiche at Wellington Archives! Very difficult to read but it was there!
I didn't tell them I
knew his birth date, partly to ensure I got the right one!
Perhaps a similar error has occurred with the birth of your Amos and John Cox's death?
Just a thought!
Cheers
Marlene
