Done another look up on this thread for KDW and split this from another post.
We have a William Cox chainmaker
and we have 2 marriages with father William Cox chainmaker
on both marriages the witness is a Charles Hodgetts
looks like Elizabeth "sister" is wit on Mary Anns in 1865
25 Dec 1870 St Thomas Dudley
Edward Raybould- 20- b- Roll Turner - Dudley- Richard RAybould- dead- Bayonet forger
Elizabeth Cox- 20-s- dudley- William Cox chainmaker
Wit- Charles Hodgetts/ Mary Ann Emery
all signed X
1st Marriage
17 Dec 1865 St Thomas Dudley
Samuel Westwood- 20- bach- miner- Dudley- Samuel Westwood- chainmaker
Mary Ann Cox - 21- spinster- Dudley- William Cox- chainmaker
banns
X both
Wit- Charles Hodgetts X/ Elizabeth Cox X
Marriage info by Jan
4 Dec 1876 St Thomas Dudley
Andrew Hartlam- 35- widower- puddler- Dudley- Richard Hadlam??- labourer
mary Ann Westwood- 30- Widow- Dudley- William Cox- Chainmakerbanns

So are these 2 actually sisters

Something odd here
I can't find a marriage for William Cox and Selina
so it might be a 2nd or 3rd marriage!
or not married
the name Selina is in the family of that Joseph Cox
but I think it might be another Joseph Cox on BCC
one that might marry 2 sisters a Sarah and an Elizabeth....
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =969831005cos one of the kids has Beasley in the name
HENRY BEESLEY COX
Christening: 12 OCT 1857 Cradley, Worcester,
Father: WILLIAM COX
Mother: SELINA Extracted birth
Is perhaps Mary Ann from an earlier marriage for William Cox?
