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 1912 from the Machell Cox siblings about visiting Enid and Cyril's house, Endhall in Tettenhall, Wolverhampton.
Family letters also discuss Wibbly-Wob, Women's Suffrage, pears, jigsaws, Vera's knee and the anxieties in Europe that might lead to war, finishing with Christmas at Sydenham, and another Christmas Budget, written by the siblings.
