Hi Cynthia
The only Cox I can find from Paulerspury at the right time is Noah and strangely enough he disappears around the time that John appears.
Noah is in the 1871 as a servant and John is in the 1881 as a servant.
I can't find a death for Noah or any travel details so I'm wondering if they are the same person. Stranger things have happened but it may be that the family just aren't listed on Ancestry.

It's definitely Noah and he's male
He's alive and well in 1871 as in my original note but then disappears.
