The Cox, Fitzsimmons and McGlennon families

My greatgrandmother, Sarah,  was married twice. The first marriage produced a son. The family name was Cox. 

After Mr. Cox passed away, she remarried a Fitzsimmons. One of their daughters was Susan and my grandmother's name was Rose. 

Rose fell in love with my grandfather, John McGlennon. It actually may have been "Glennon" because I believe he may have been Protestant which was the reason  Rose was sent to America around 1894 to live with a relative. John followed and they married. Susan, who also emigrated to America after finishing nursing school in London, returned to Ireland for holidays frequently. My Aunt Susan died in the 1930's. My grandmother died in the mid-1940's.

Rose grew up in County Down, the Fitzspatrick home and lands ran along a  cliff overlooking the Irish Sea. She told me how she would ride her horse with her collie following almost every day.

I do not know what town would have been near their farm, but Ardglass overlooks the sea and could be where they attended church.
