Cox, Francis Blakemore and William Cox

I believe (I have the passenger list) that he landed in NY on Nov. 3, meaning he had to leave in Oct.
I believe he traveled from Le Havre because he was living in France then.

I stand corrected on the date of William Cox's travel from Le Havre to New York. He arrived in NY on March 10, 1890.
 
I have gone back to the information from records in the US and concluded that William Cox was born between Sept 5, 1847 and Nov. 30, 1848.
I have been trying to find out if he was trained at the Royal Military Academy Woolwich, which taught engineering at that time. Does anyone on this list have access to the cadet information for that period? I checked online and it is 19Pounds for a weeks of usage. Steep price.

With reference to post 29 - did you register at GRO?
Just wondering what extra info you learned.

Yes, I registered and got a number of more details on three William Coxes. I don't think they are the ones. I am trying some more creative ideas, like the military training aspect. There are about 39 births that could be the individual that I am looking for. At this point I don't have much hope for the connection to Francis Blakemore Cox family, but I may still be wrong on that too.
 
I have the marriage records of William in 1891 in New York. On that record it states that his father was John and his mother was Elisabeth Parker. Now, to be fair, there are many inaccuracies on that record. So, I have taken that information with a grain of salt.
