S4E8: Endhall in Wolverhampton, Suffragettes & Vera's knee Artwork

100 Years of Cox

I am telling the story of ten siblings from the Machell Cox family, through the letters they wrote to each other. They were born in England between 1868 and 1884; seven of them lived in England and three lived abroad, in the Colonies. One of the siblings was my great grandfather.

Frances reads letters from 1911 and 1912 from Enid about their new house, Endhall in Tettenhall Woods, Wolverhampton. The family all give their opinions and Frances finds where the house used to be located.

Edmund wants to know what the siblings all think about Votes for Women - please give details - and they do.

Vera suffers a knee injury during the England v. Ireland Ladies' International in March 1912, her hockey friends are devastated and then Vera describes a marvellous trip to Norway as she recuperates.

And the siblings continue discussing the suffragettes. The militant ones, WSPU – (Women’s Social and Political Union) and the law-abiding women - NUWSS (The National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies.)
