Hi, I have been boggling my brain trying to find my COX family in the 1881 Census and was hoping some fresh eyes, and more expertise than I have, might help, please!
I have them in the 1871 census at 20 Compton Street, St James, Clerkenwell
John Cox 36 Fire wood cutter born St Lukes
Sarah Cox 30 St Lukes
Ann Cox 8 St Lukes
Jane Cox 6 St Lukes
John Cox 4 St Lukes
Thomas Cox 2 Cripplegate
Joseph D Cox 1m Clerkenwell
I have them in the 1891 census at 165 Skidmore Street, Mile End Old Town
John Cox 54 Fire Wood Cutter St Lukes, London
Sarah Cox 51 St Lukes, London
John Cox 24 Oilman St Lukes, London
Jane Cox 26 Tailoress Cripplegate, London
Martha Cox 18 Tailoress St Lukes, London
Fredk Cox 16 Wood Cutter Dalston, London
Robert Cox 13 Scholar Dalston, London
Arthur Cox 4 Stepney, London
I have tried all sorts of things to try and find even just one of them in the 1881 census but have failed miserably. I checked on Findmypast and it seemed to imply there was nothing major missing from the 1881 census but if anyone knows better, please do say..
I wondered if they might be in a workhouse or somewhere only under initials perhaps but wouldn't know where to start with that.
Robert was the last child to be born before 1881 and he was born in Dalston, apparently (Shoreditch Reg District on GRO). I don't have his Birth Cert but will get it if need be. I cannot find his baptism, or his brother Frederick's - also born Dalston.
I am having a tough time tracing the children Ann Cox and Thomas Cox after 1871 so confirmation of their 1881 whereabouts would be very useful.
Any help would be gratefully received - many thanks.
