In 1871 Thomas was 35, a Carpenter. He and Martha, 25 were living in Brome, Quebec with their children: Joseph Cox, 2 and Ida Jane Cox, 6 months^[2].

Frank Cox's mother, Martha Maria Seale, may have been a sister of George Seale of the Blenheim area and it may have been through a visit with the Seale's that Frank met Maud Winter. Frank appears to have had a brother who died shortly after marrying Lilian Booth, born in Shefford, Quebec to and Sarah Booth.
