Many thanks for all your efforts. I am mostly interested in William & Florence's descendants (if any) rather than their ancestors, but I'll double check my information with yours.

I am trying to find details about William Cox and Florence C. Cox or their descendants. The 1911 Census shows them living at 39 Aldborough Street, Blyth, Northumberland, but states they were born in Norfolk. They were living with their stepfather, Thomas Harris, born c.1875 in County Durham (my grandfather) their mother, Florence Cox (nee Sparkes), born c.1872 in Felthorpe, Norfolk (my grandmother) and their half brother, Andrew Harris, born 6.1.1911 at Blyth, Northumberland (my father). Until I started researching, I did not know of their existence - my father never said he had half-siblings - and I have so far been unable to find out anything further about them. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
