  • Edmund Cox c1813 Wiltshire

    Hi Everyone

    I have an Edmund Cox c1813 who states on one census he was born in Semington, Wilts.
    I have found an Edmund Cox christened 14 JUN 1812 Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire, which is about 3 miles from Semington. [IGI]
    He married Jane Green in Apr 1837. Typical!!

    His parents are given as John Cox & Mary Wayland c 1776-1809.There is also a brother Thomas chr 1810, the rest of the children are christened before her death.

    Asuming this is my Edmund, is there anyway of discovering if she was their mother and they were christened much later or could John have remarried another Mary

    Any ideas would be gratefully received.

    Thank you

    Hi Nona

    The name Cox in Wiltshire is well used, the records you found were not from the actual church, they are submitted by other people, so they could be wrong, unless you know the person who submitted these records(maybe from your family)

    If somebody was born in Semington, surely they would be baptised in the local church. The workers in 1841 worked from dawn till dusk, they had Sundays off, then they did their church bits. I cant imagine anybody walking 5 miles to go to a different church, when there is a church in the same village (Semington St Georges).

    The parish records for Birth Death and Marriage are held at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Center, maybe there is a way to search them and find maybe another Edmund,

    hope this idea helps
