JOSEPH COX Christening: 06 DEC 1795 Halesowen, Worcester, Parents: Father: ABSALOM HOMER COX Mother: JANE Extracted birth

Oh that's good Jo, I'll have a look at that in the Register, I was alarmed to find that the IGI do not print what the Register says, they seem to put their own interpretation on it. Just need to find Thomas the Beadle Here are some of the Baps for Joseph's children.

2.8.1829 Joseph son of Joseph and Harriet Homer Rowley Regis Shoemaker
7.11.1830 Selina d of Joseph and Harriet Homer Rowley Regis Shoemaker
15.7.1838 Absalom son of Joseph and Harriet Homer Rowley Regis Rowley Regis Cordwainer

Can't remember if I listed these or not

9.10.1836 Absalom Cox son of Noah and Sarah Homer Cradley Shoemaker
12.5.1839 Eliza Cox d of Noah and Sarah Homer Cradley Cordwainer

12.12.1835 Ellen d of Thomas and Mary Homer Cradley Beadle

The Register says Joseph son of Absalom Homer and Jane Cox.

Wonder if she was a Cox

Linell.

Should I change in the notes what you looked at Lin?
If you have seen the records then that would be more accurate than IGI surely.
I have added census and children but havent included Thomas on the 1841 census as that doesnt show relationship and IGI does show a Thomas 27th Nov 1836 Cradley
but that may be as Lin found not correct info from the records?
Any thoughts on it?
Jo

Oh ignore me!
Thomas is there in 1861 as son so must be added him now.

Hi Jo, that Bap for Thomas in 1836 is not in the Cradley or Halesowen Register Think we better use the information from the Register's, the IGI are not to be trusted. Am signing off now, catch up with you tomorrow, best wishes from Lin.

I'll go through what you have put from the records and see what is on BCC I think.
Thanks Lin.
