Caroline Cox (b abt 1833), daughter of David?

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Andrew Report 16 Feb 2009 13:28

On another site, I've found a match in the 1841 census that appears to show Caroline Cox (b abt 1833) living at home with her father, David Cox. The only record that matches places them in Tonbridge, Kent.

Would someone be able to look this up for me and see who else was in that household? From a marriage certificate for Caroline Cox and Richard Lawrence Newman in 1854, it shows her father as being David Cox (I couldn't quite work out the occupation for him) with witnesses listed as Eliza and Thomas, if I recall, so I expect they were either her mum/sister and brother, or perhaps cousins or something.

As the marriage took place in 1854, I would expect there'll also be an 1851 census record with some matching household information once I've got the 1841 data.

Any help would be appreciated!

Crondall, that definitely sounds interesting. I've seen on a later record for Caroline Cox that her birthplace was Crundale, Surrey. While there is a Crundale in Kent, I had a feeling that it might have been incorrectly transcribed from Camberwell, Surrey, given the location of the household at the time.

But this makes a whole lot more sense. Crondall, Hampshire, with David as the father, I would think that's quite a likely match, and moving to Woolwich would put them closer to where she would have met Richard Lawrence Newman in the 1850s.
