Samuel Morton Cox, Sr.

Samuel Morton Cox. He was married to Johanna Matilda Noaks-Wilson and when she died he married Elizabeth Beard. His son my grandfather was John Robert Cox (son of Johanna). He was born at Ashford 1892. I dont have places or birth dates for Samuel Johanna or Elizabeth. Brothers and sisters to John Robert are - Charles Henry, Alice Evelyn, Samuel Edward, May Elizabeth, Florence Minnie, Clarence Alexander, Elizabeths children Brisbane, Grace Jessie, Arthur & Joyce.

According to NSW bdms online, the only COX that was born at Inverell around the time of your g.grandfather was in 1890 by the name of Robert S. Cox. How positive are you that your g.grandfather was born at Ashford in 1892? And that that was his correct name? I've often seen middle names for first names and the other way around. Certificates are sometimes the only reliable evidence.

I think this is the birth registration of Samuel's 1st wife:- V1854708 42A/1854 WILSON Johanna M N father Thomas mother Johanna.

I cannot find marriage between Samuel Morton COX and Johanna Matilda in NSW. Perhaps they were emigrants to Australia, or travelled interstate to NSW.

Did Johanna M COX die in 1910? There's a registration number 12010 in 1910 at Sydney NSW for a Johanna M COX with father: Thomas that would seem to match.

Marriage between Samuel Cox and 2nd wife Elizabeth S. BEARD was in 1915 at Inverell NSW, registration number 7230.

NB I have lots of BEARDs in my family tree due to intermarriage to the MOST and MERRY families.

Deaths of children with parents names Samuel & Johanna:-

In 1879, Samuel G. COX died at Warialda registration number 9401.

In 1960, Samuel COX died at Inverell registration number 11798/1960.
