John Brotherton Cox

Can anyone help please by looking in Kellys to see if a John Brotherton Cox was listed? He was a Boarding House Keeper in Handsworth, and died in that area in 1909. I am interested to know how early he was listed if he is at all listed as he had been living in another part of the UK.

Thank you
Ewan

He is listed , though as John Bretherton Cox in the private address section, though I think this was not uncommon fro those keeping boarding houses.
1900 - 1908 Cox John Bretherton, 64 Holly road,Handsworth
Immediately before that (1895-99) he is not listed, though that doesn’t mean he wasn’t in the area.

Thank you Mike, that is spot on. John B Cox was on the Isle of Man in 1891 and in Handsworth for the 1901 census, so that gives me some indication of where he was.
