Frances provides a recap on the ten children born to Rev Dr John Charles Cox and Minnie Cox, for anyone who might be still muddling them up.
"The older family" - Enid (born 1868) Edmund (1869) Arthur (1870) Neville (1871) and Wilfred (1873).
Approximately 4 years off between children - How and Why? And Where was Dr Cox between 1873-1877? Possibly some of the time he was on the continent with his brother, possibly researching the Peninsula War.
"The younger family" - Bernard (1878) Aldwyn (1879) Cuthbert (1881) Avice (1883) and Veronica (1884).
Minnie Cox gave birth to seven sons in a row, within 12 years, and she had 4.5 years off in the middle. The ten siblings were all born in the space of 16 years.
This episode gives all sorts of background on the siblings and hopefully will help you work out who is who.
Frances has a page that came from a distant cousin in Canada, written on Vera's headed notepaper, with her address in Scotland at the top of the page; a handwritten list of ten birthdates, in Vera's handwriting, with eight dates of death. Avice and Vera were the last two siblings to die and the dates of their deaths are not listed. The list was written after Cuthbert died in 1962.
