Are you looking for more information on Cox family in Westmeath?

Sorry, no,
There is a Cox tread already but as the Cox I posted might not be the same family, I put them on  another tread.

Hi
Robert Cox is my g g g grandfather.
Do you have information about the family before he and his wife (Sarah Dimond from Forgully or Cornamuckla, Longford) came to Australia. I can find cery little. I believe he was born around 1793.
Thanks, Fiona
