Hitchcox Family Difficulties! Help Needed.

[DavidJP]

Hi all,

My 3xt gr aunt Mary Hollis/Holliss (1823-1858) married John Hitchcox (1823-1897) in 1844 I believe in Claverdon. They then had 6 children all born & baptised in Lillington as follows:

Joseph Hitchcox (1845-1846)
William Henry Hitchcox (1847-?)
Charles Hitchcox (1849-?)
Rebecca Jane Hitchcox (1851-1852)
George Hitchcox (1853-?) Marries Ellen Piper in Birmingham in 1879.
James Frederick Hitchcox (1855-?)
Mary Ann Hitchcox (1858-?) Is Marianne on familysearch baptism record. Possibly married Charles Ludwick as Mary Ann Hitchcock in Leamington in December 1876.

Mary Hitchcox (Nee' Hollis) dies in 1858 & John Hitchcox remarries in 1861 to Ann Devis & they have one child:

Alice Devis Hitchcox (1862-?) Marries Edwin Frederick H Taylor in 1885.

Here is where the difficulties begin, either William Henry Hitchcox's birth registration is missing or he was registered as Joseph Henry Hitchcox, but baptised & appears in censuses as William Henry! Also I have been unable to find Alice Devis Hitchcox's birth index record.

I am needing the 1851 census for the family if someone could look that up for me I would be grateful, they should be in Lillington. Mary born Claverdon & John born Lillington.

Mary dies in 1858 & is registered in the December qtr of 1858, however familysearch has a burial record for her of 21st Nov 1859 in Lillington and age 36.

John's second marriage to Ann Devis appears to happen on two different dates & in two different places according to familysearch! Firstly on the 29th September 1861 at Leamington & then 2 & a half weeks later on 17th Oct 1861 in Lillington! Which is the correct date or are either of them right?

Sons Charles & James Frederick Hitchcox disappear after the 1861 & 1871 censuses respectively! No marriages or deaths for that matter can be found for them.

Lastly Mary Ann Hitchcox (b1858) possibly marries Charles Ludwick in Leamington in 1879 (a familysearch marriage record)as Mary Ann Hitchcock, I am completely unable to find the marriage in the marriage index. Neither can I find them  in subsequent censuses!

My apologies for the size of this request, but this family seem to be defying all my efforts at locating them or any respective records. Also due to the large number of problems as noted above.

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards

David

Here is where the difficulties begin, either William Henry Hitchcox's birth registration is missing or he was registered as Joseph Henry Hitchcox, but baptised & appears in censuses as William Henry!

Buying the birth certificate for the names of the parents of Joseph Henry will show if that is correct.

Mary Hitchcox was buried 21st Nov 1859 in Lillington, she was 36 years old.

John Hitchcox and Ann Devis were married at Lillington Parish Church on October 17th 1861, witnesses Edward and Emma Hitchcox. The other date relates to the final Banns being published at Leamington Priors and Lillington Parish Churches. John was of the Parish of Lillington and Ann was of Leamington Priors.

Hi sgf28, chempat & Warkz,

Many thanks indeed for your replies, very much appreciated indeed.

sgf28, many thanks for the 1851 census detail, very much appreciated.

chempat, thanks for that, another cert to add to the ever growing pile of those that I need to get!

WarkZ, many thanks for burial & marriage info, much appreciated. I still can't work out why her death was registered in Dec qtr 1858 (a year before her burial) though, no other deaths in the index for a Mary Hitchcox at that time. Most odd.

My thanks again.

Kind regards

David

The 1876 entry involving Charles Ludwick is banns not a marriage (on Ancestry anyway)
