CoxPublished by on Tue, 12/11/2013 - 20:37 | Surname: | Cox | Parish: | Burnham-on-Sea; Steart; Stogursey; Stockland Bristol; The Brents | Place/Region: | SOM Somerset | Period | All years | Notes: | My particular branch of Cox can only be traced to c.1755 at Burnham-on-Sea Somerset when Arthur Cox was one of the sextons recorded in the Churchwarden's accounts as being salaried at £2 to maintain the Candelabra which was installed after the roof was ceiled in that year.
Family lore recounts that he came to Burnham from the Combwich area, but although there were at least 2 families of Cox in that area including Steart, Arthur does not appear in any records so far researched.
If the lore is correct, it is possible that he and his wife Jane came to Combwich from Ireland?
