Thomas Blakemore Cox - Marriage

E

Ewan

master brummie
This request may involve a bit more searching than normal, so I understand if it can not be undertaken. I am looking for a marriage between at Thomas Blakemore Cox and an Ann ?

There are baptism records on the IGI approximately between 1800 and 1817 of children belonging to the above couple, so they could of been married if at all prior to 1800.

As the baptisms took place at St Martins I thought it would be the best place to search for the marriage, failing that perhaps they married at St Phillips.

Any help much appreciated.

hi ewan, i had a look to see the baptism on igi and saw the one "ann cox christened 1st nov 1800"

had a look at the original and there is no mention of blakemore. it was a submitted entry so may be incorrect. if you can give me the dates and names of other baptisms (supposedly with blakemore on them) i will check on those as well.
the only marriage i could see going back to about 1794 is thomas cox to ann carr or cam on 28th july 1796. bachelor and spinster. both of this parish. witnesses charles horton and rebecca lowe.
 
Hello again Shera

When you say you had a look at the original you do mean the baptism record don't you?

Baptisms of children of a Thomas Blakemore Cox and Ann ? (you have the first that is Ann)

Thomas 01.11.1800
Fanny 05.10.1801
Maria 20.08.1803
Sarah 14.03.1808
Mary 06.12.1805
Frances Blakemore 10.06.1816
Harriot 27.10.1817

Thanks again for your help.

Hello Shera, I did wonder if you thought I meant baptisms and you were going to go searching for them.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but it was the marriage of a Thomas Blakemore Cox and an Ann ? that I was asking about. According to the IGI their first child was baptised in 1800, so I am trying to find a marriage for them prior to this.

All these baptisms took place at St Martins, but if the marriage cannot be found there it may have taken place at St Philips prior to 1800. Here's hoping anyway.

Many thanks again.

hi ewan, yes i was really looking for a marriage but checked the baptisms to see if father was thomas blakemore cox, and none of them state the blakemore bit. on the igi for ann chr. 1800 it just says daughter of thomas and ann cox.

was the marriage that i found for 1796 any good thomas cox to ann carr/cam?
 
Hello Shera, oh right I understand now I was a bit worried that you had made a wasted search. Where do these submitters find their information from I wonder? I found those 8 baptisms on the IGI and they all stated the dad as being Thomas Blakemore Cox. The marriage that you found could well be Thomas Blakemore Cox in disguise as simply Thomas Cox :shocked: because the year fits in with possible first births. There doesn't appear to be a marriage of a Thomas Blakemore Cox unless he did marry at St Philips and it is not showing on the IGI.

The middle name of Blakemore did crop up earlier this week when I found it on the IGI amongst some other baptisms I was interested in.

Frances Blakemas Cox 03.01.1774 (could be Blakemore)
Sampson Blakemore Cox 05.03.1776

The dad this time was stated as Thomas Cox and mum was Ann. If you can Shera would you be able to check out those 2 above please? Again they are submitted entries.

Thank you for your time again.

hi ewan, i think we both got our wires crossed :)

ive checked out those two - the first one, the christian name is almost blotted out but could be francis, blakemore is there as middle name and its a son of thomas and ann cox (thats why i think it must be francis with an i)

second one is correct as you have it.
 
Hello Shera

Thank you once again for checking out some baptisms for me, the name of Blakemore it obviously in the family somewhere but in these early registers it is so difficult to fathom how who is related to who.

Also, that is interesting as on the IGI for baptisms it does not mention whether son or daughter but in the original records you were able to tell me that it was a son, on the IGI the name was spelt with an e as opposed to an i.

Your help much appreciated as always.

Just noticed it does say male or female christening, how did I miss that?
