Biography

William Fox was born in Rutland, England.

William Fox was born in 1852 in Whissendine, Rutland, England, United Kingdom. He was the son of William Fox and his wife, Elizabeth Tinkler. ^[1]

Birth Registration:

FOX, -

Mother's Maiden Surname: TINCKLER

GRO Reference: 1852 S Quarter in OAKHAM Volume 07A Page 233 citing General Register Office, Southport, England, United Kingdom.

William Fox married Emily Elizabeth Shelban/Shelbourn on 25 Dec 1882 in Whissendine, Rutland, England, United Kingdom. ^[2]

By 1911, William Fox (56, head, widower, a foreman platelayer, born in Whissendine, Rutland) says he had been been married to his wife for 22 years and had had 5 children, all of whom were still alive at the time of the 1911 Census. Living with him at Company Cottages in South Witham, Lincolnshire, England, United Kingdom was his daughter, Ella Agnes Fox (20, single, born in Wymondham, Leicestershire) and a grandson, William Fox (6, born in King's Cliffe, Northamptonshire) ^[3][4]

This leads me to believe that Elizabeth, as she was referred to on the censuses, died in 1905, since they married at the end of 1882. The family were living at South Witham, Grantham district, Lincolnshire in 1901 and 1911, so it is reasonable to assume that Elizabeth died in Grantham district, Lincolnshire.

Death Registration:

FOX, ELIZABETH

Age at Death (in years): 41
