I have been searching for some time for my g grandmother Mary Ann Cox born in Lewisham in 1861 father James Cox a blacksmith. I have never been able to find them. I only know about her fathers occupation given on her marriage certificate and I only know she was born in lewisham by the 1901 and 1881 census. I have found one James Cox blacksmith living in the right place born Inkpen. I would love this to be him but a few things don't match. I can't get any further back until I find him in the same house as his daughter Ahhhhhhhhhhh......... Can anyone help? Very Mad Alice

Alice I assume you've tried the 1881 and 1891 census? Ali

I have her on the 1881 and 1901. She and her son disapper on the 1891 and she reappears remarried on the 1901. I have never found her on the 1871. Perhaps her family moved to a place that ancestry doesn't cover yet. IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING!

Do you know when in 1871 she was born? Is it possible she was born after the census was done?

Sorry Alyson, she was born in 1861. Sorry I made a mistake! This is what is so annoying because she should be at home with her parents, waiting for me to find her. sorry again about mistake! Alice
