I have just had a contact from genes reunited:
"I am tracing my husbands family tree and have hit a brick wall, I am looking for his grandfather Alfred George Melville, according to his marriage certificate his father was George Henry. I have been unable to find either of them on the census records or any birth record for Alfred, according to family stories Melville was not Alfred's birth name.
I recently found army records for Alfred and they show his birth place as DUNDRY, Somerset. I have checked the parish records for Dundry between 1874-1880 and the only Alfred I can find is Alfred George Cox who's father is named George Henry, so I am wonder if Alfred Cox & Alfred Melville are the same person.
I found the Cox family on the 1881 census, which includes Alfred. I also found the death for a George Cox in 1890. The 1891 census show's George"s widow Elizabeth and 3 children but not Alfred, so far I have not been able to find Alfred Cox on the 1891/1901 census forms."
Alfred Cox born Dundry in Somerset was my grandmother's cousin. There are two both in my tree but like my contact I loose him after 1881.
