John Cox ---- Roscommon, Roscommon and Kilteevan

Dave:

I can't tell if you are looking for additional information on John Cox and his family or just posting the baptismal record.

In any event, see second record at this link and you will see the civil birth record. The family lived on Castle St. in Roscommon town and his father was a post car driver   https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…

His parents were married July 23 1880. The names of the fathers of the bride and groom were listed (first record)

I did not see any records for siblings to John.

Here is the 1901 census for Thomas and Bridget. Their ages are likely understated

Roger,

Thank you -- YET AGAIN!! You helped me before with the "Duffy's" This is so appreciated. It has given me lots of new leads. I have been researching "Michael Duffy b. 1836" his son "Charles b 1865 Stranorlar Donegal". I found a possible refernce to a Bridget Duffy, who I thought may be Michael's daughter and the sister of Charles. I then found the 1901 Census with Michael, his wife Anne, some of their children but also their Grandson "John Cox" age 17. I did some digging and found a possible father "Thomas Cox". I felt I was looking at good info. --- HAVE confirmed everything!!

What's Next for me...I am trying to find out if I can find living relatives there in Ireland!!

1. What happened to John Cox after 1901??

2. Investigate the 1901 houselhold of Thomas Cox...a Bridget Duffy (AUNT) age 85...this is a possible sister of Michael Duffy??? 

3. What happened to Michael's wife Anne, He died in 1908. I think she died 1913 but I have no idea where they would be buried??

3. Anxiously waiting 1921 Census.

Thank you so much and I will keep you posted.

Dave

Dave:

Unfortunately, the next census is 1926. Because of the War of Independence, there was no census in 1921.
