Hi Everyone I just checked the family bible and Caroline did marry Henry of course and they had Austin henry who married Emily roughton. theses are my grand parents. I believe Henry's father was Augustine which was where austin derives from but it means going back to ireland and a possible norman connection.

I took the step of asking for a lookup, and Andrew kindly obliged

Thank uou Jacqueline. I took William Cox jr to be her father as her Mother is his widow. who remarried William Wright in Ireland. I will follow up all the leads mentioned and see where it all leads to. :-)

Launton was the home of the extended Reeves family who left Ireland to go there and settle. Henry and Caroline had 12 sons and I am following all thier descendents. I am the great grandaughter of Austin Henry.
