Hello I am new to ancestry and helping my husband trace his family line. He is a direct descendent of Thomas Cox 1768-1842. We are considering travel to Gloucestershire from Pennsylvania, USA this summer to find his gravesite.
Thomas Cox would be my husband's fourth great grandfather. I believe Thomas Cox (1768-1842) had a son named George who died in 1859. I have not been able to find information on him, but he apparently had a son named Thomas Cox who was born on December 11, 1842, the son of Ann and George. He died on August 22, 1910, at the age of 67.
Thomas Cox (b1842) had a son named Richard William Cox was born on November 6, 1865, in Gloucestershire, England, when his father, Thomas was 22 and his mother, Louisa, was 23. He married Annie Elizabeth Scoffield Langston in 1896. He died on December 3, 1911, in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, at the age of 46. This Richard William Cox is my husband's great grandfather and my husband looks very much like him. We have one picture.
Richard William Cox (b1865) had a son named John Langston Cox in 1896 who married Katherine Unger. John Langston Cox was born on September 22, 1896, in Carnegie, Pennsylvania when his father, Richard, was 30 and his mother, Annie, was 22. He died on November 18, 1953, in his hometown at the age of 57.
He worked for a Chemical Company in Heidelburg, PA. Any information on the Cox Family of Gloucestershire, I greatly appreciate.
