Biography

Lizzie Cox was born in West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England around 1866. She was the first child of Charles Godwin and Jane (nee Hunt) Cox. By the time of the 1871 census, she had younger sisters Annie and Ada.^[1]

She was the eldest of five children by the time her family migrated to South Australia on the Astracan in 1876^[2] and settled at Bowden-on-the-Hill, near Adelaide.

Lizzie married John Orbell Harris Golding at the residence of C.S.Cove, Ovingham on 12 May 1883.^[3] Their first child, Elsie Lily Golding was born three weeks later on 3 June 1883.^[4]

Further children Ethel Olive (6 August 1885) and John Henry (12 February 1890) followed, all born at Bowden on the Hill. Lizzie's youngest two siblings, Charles Amos Cox and Amy Cox were also born at Bowden on the Hill, timed between the children of Lizzie and John (no evidence found yet as to how close the two families lived).

She passed away in 1900.^[5]

Research notes

Lizzie's husband died in 1943 and his death notice does not mention her, so it could be assumed that she predeceased him.^[6]

The Elizabeth Golding that is recorded as having died on 9 May 1893 at Hindmarsh aged 56 would have been her mother-in-law, married to John Orbell Golding, not Lizzie married to John Orbell Harris Golding.
