Cox family, Falmouth - Falmouth
My Gt.gt.grandfather James Blatch Cox brought his young family to Falmouth in 1843 from Somerset, he was an ironmonger and had been a baptist minister, how did he aspire to Mayor after only 4 years there? I believe he was connected to the building of the waterworks. His sons and grandsons went on to be pillars of society, the postmaster and managers of the shipyard and another mayor, yet none remain there now, I have researched them to some extent, but the question remains, what brought James there in the first place? My grandfather left there in 1918, only returning in later life for holidays and did not keep in touch with 'family', so it remains for me to piece together the family from those times.
