THE COX FAMILY

Presented by Kelly Cox

The history of the family in Dalton began with a farm labourer named Albert James "Darky" Cox  and his wife  Ethel May Cox " nee Middleton"  who lived at Glebe Cottage in Dalton Parva from 1926 to 1929.  The previous resident in the cottage was Albert Edward Wilson and prior to that was John Davies who had resided there since 1918.

Albert and Ethel had four children John Edward Cox, Beatrice Mary Cox and Winifred May Cox who were born between 1910 to 1925 presumably at Rotherham, and George who was born in Dalton in 1925    Our knowledge of Albert James is very limited as we do not know for sure where he was born (Aldershot is one suggestion) and we cannot find a marriage certificate.

It is believed that Albert and family prior to 1925 lived in the Sheffield Road area of Rotherham.

Kelly has produced some very informative results from her research, and has very kindly shared those results here. In a recent email Kelly writes.
" Hi John firstly let me say how informative I find your Dalton website.  Although I consider myself a Rotherham lass at heart, I've moved around all of my life, so my knowledge of Dalton in years gone by is quite limited.  Although the information above mainly focuses on my names of interest, it might help others fill in some gaps too."

Kelly wishes to learn more about her ancestors above and also their neighbours and friends, so if you can help with any information please contact Kelly at  kellym.cox@btopenworld.com
