John Cox married Sarah between 1871 and 1881

[bikermickau]

I'm looking for a marriage between John Cox and Sarah between 1871 and 1881, likely either in Buckinghamshire or Bedfordshire.
Findmypast show a possible 7 marriages between 1871 and 1880 in Buckinghamshire (does not include the below mentioned 1881 at Winslow or the 2 John William Cox marriages)

His father is John Fenner Cox

John Cox has wife Sarah in the 1881 and 1891 census at Edlesborough, Buckinghamshire, England

1881 - Class: RG11; Piece: 1645; Folio: 23; Page: 5
"25: Hempstead Rd (Goldern Rule)
COX John Head Mar 69 Dagnall, Buckinghamshire Grocer & Publican
COX Sarah Wife Mar 51 Brighton, Sussex Grocer's Wife
COX Annie Granddaughter 15 Dagnall, Buckinghamshire Domestic Servant

1891 - Class: RG12; Piece: 1268; Folio 19; Page 5
"35: Hempstead Rd
COX John Head Mar 79 Dagnal, Buckinghamshire Grocer Deaf
COX Sarah Wife Mar 61 Brighton, Sussex."

John Cox had been married twice before, his 2nd wife Martha Draper died 1871.

Previous family members has him married to Sarah Ann Ward 1881 Winslow, Hertfordshire, England.
At least one Ancestry family tree indicates that may not be correct.

I haven't checked this through yet, but looking for Sarah's the right age in Buckinghamshire or Bedfordshire born in Sussex. there is only one born in Brighton

Rather a long way from Edlesborough though.

Still there in 1881

Thanks Jamjar,
I have that 1901 census and forgot to add it to my post.
John Cox is stated to be a widower on it so I've assumed Sarah died between 1891 and 1901
There are 2 possible deaths in that time period for Sarah Cox born abt 1830
