Born 1896 of Jane (b1868) and Henry Cox (b1868). Sister of Gertrude F.C.E. Cox. [See census 1891, misspelled as Coe].

I am told she married a Thomas ? (surname unknown) and the child's name was Maswin (Mas-Win) taken from her parent's names.

My mother Joan Gertrude Lillian Higgins and twin sister Muriel (b1916), remembered being in touch with Maswin, who must have been her cousin. It is an unusual name, so I am hopeful. I wonder if Maswin is still alive?? Or if any descendants are interested in contacting me.

Judith, was Maswin about the same age as your mother, do you know?

Ozi

I wonder if it was a pet name as there's no sign of a Maswin with mother's maiden name Cox. No Maswin at all actually.

There is this:

Are the Coxes living in Camberwell in 1911?

Judith

If indeed she did marry and have a child...it was in this country (UK) I presume?

I think Oz is right about the childs name being a 'pet' name

It does come up on FMP search Deborah but you have to 'jiggle things a bit':

NB - Image has William, Theresa (his wife of 3 years) and Winifred (grand-daughter) as 'TOWLER' !
