Friday Street and St John's Street still exist in Leicester
if you go to www.streetmap.co.uk you will be able to see where they are, property websites such as www.rightmove.co.uk may have houses for sale on those streets with pictures so you could see if the area has changed, bear in mind Leicester was probably bombed during WW2 so much of the original housing may have gone, or it may have been demolished to make way for new houses

Thank you, i was given my family tree in paper form last week, its very detailed up to the 1900 when the Coxes all started to move from normanton on soar, and since then i have been filling in the blanks, its very addictive.. but struggling since and i would love to find some living coxes i knew nothing about..
another cox who i have traced to london his John William married to Mary Ethel Sharp in 1899 in Leicester who seems to have been born in st pancras, with his dad George , not sure why they moved there, came back but i think moved back again, have a son Harold Cox.. thank you

this looks like the McCarthy family in 1911, you will need to pay to view the transcript / see the original at www.1911census.co.uk to get more info

I have had a look on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website (CWGC) but can't find a likely death in WW1 for Bernard.


AHA - just found this possible marriage record, so his first name may not have been Bernard ...

You guys amaze me, i have spent the best part of the day looking for her,
thank you,
you are right, Minnie was her her daughter, born 1876 in feb, she married Bernard McCarthy but i can no mention of him either, not sure if he died during the great war, dont know where he came from or any other details.
do you know if i can find any other details about friday street, or st john st in the same parish linked to the 1900 cox family. it amazes me i can find about some one who lived hundreds of years ago but just about living memory i fail... thank

again from freebmd (free to search), this looks like it could be her death record
