Amy Cox (born c.1884 in Birmingham) married Sydney John Narborough in 1910 in Aston, Warwickshire.

Sydney is with his wife and parents on the 1921 census; daughter 'Josey', born 1905, is with them.

Hi I wonder if it's at all possible 🤔

Sydney Narborough married a Amy Cox in 1910

And according to a colleague of roots chat they are shown in the 1921 census

I haven't got access to this , so if I can get a written report of who the people are I would be eternally grateful

Thanks  Phil
