master brummie
Please can anyone see if theres a william cox in shopkeeper in regent st i think its in smethwick around 1897 if there isn't please can you see if he is at 38 coventry road warwickshire. If there is a family at 38 coventry rd he might be with his son also a william cox and eliza cox would you be able to see how long they have been there and also how long they stay there many many thanks Liz:)
P.S I know where william the father lived from 1861-1892 as many of the forum members have been fab and have let me know but lost them 1892 onwards. He lived with his family to start worc's then heath st birmingham winson green rd then to smethwick then back to heath st then back to winson green rd so moved around alittle
