Two children baptised at Durweston, Dorset 1743 and 1746


I had Henry 1743 and Charles (my ancestor) 1746.

I see on Ancestry there's also Mary bap 3 May 1741 and buried 16 Apr 1744.

Also Ann bap 27 Feb 1754, dau of Harry and Sarah.

There's a burial for a Harry Cox 18 Sep 1770 (could be father or son)

and one for Sarah Cox 7 May 1786

Henry named a son Charles and there's a Charles Cox having children in a run slightly ahead of Henry who I thought might be his brother. However, Charles Cox married Ury Cox in 1735 in Durweston, so it could be more complicated!

[Merry]

Charles Cox (the one who married Ury Cox) shows up in the apprenticeship records in 1741 as a wheeler. I presume that's a wheelwright (?) which was also the occ of my Henry's son, Charles Cox (my 4xg).

[Merry]

There's an apprenticeship record dated 1772 (so after the burial I listed for Harry Cax earlier) for a Harry Cox of Durweston, carpenter and wheelwright. So, is this Harry/Henry sr and his son died a couple of years earlier, or (more likely) Henry/Harry jr after the death of his father?

[Merry]

Just realised I've not written down the names of the children of Charles and Ury. No doubt they had a Henry/Harry too! lol

Having said that, I can't see one.

Ah, there's a will for Harry Cox 1770, which says he is the father of Harry, Charles and Ann and the husband of Sarah, so he is definitely mine :)

Occupation (from will), carpenter.
