I was born 1-3-46 in Brooklyn NY. Was raised by the
St. John's Catholic home for boys. My mother was
Lee O'creene. I do not know if my father married
my mother but do know that he visited when I
was a child. Contact was lost because of my
mother. He may have been in Merchant Marine.
Have no idea about the Coxon background. Anyone
who would can enlighten this family, would be
greatly appreciative.

Sorry, we are not familiar with the Coxon family except we have been in contact with a few Coxon families. So far we do not know who the relatives would be and where from. As stated in my original posting, my father visited in the early young years and contact had been lost because of my mother. My birth certificate from Brooklyn, NY says the father and mother were from Indiana but I know that this is not true. My father, I was told was a Merchant Marine, but that is about all. Sorry, and good luck.

All Coxon Families. I have been doing some LCoxon research. Our branch of Coxon, which is also spelt Coxen, Coxson, Coxsen, originated in lower Derbyshire county in Englsand. They lived in Ashmunton, Ashburne, Shirley, Brailfords, Sutton-on-the-Hill, Derby, etc. The name is also found in Nottinghamshire. There are still enumous families by that name. I still have discover how all are related.
My grandfather-in-law came to N>Y> city in 1902. He was one of 9 children.His father, George was also one of many children. In fact several generations had at least 6 children. Hope this helps a bit. If you have internet, try Familysearch.com (Mormon), England, etc. Peggy

Thanks for info Peggy and I don't think that Charlie will ever know his own family Coxon side but it's nice to know the history of Coxon from those who can do some back tracking. I appreciate you sharing all your hard work in looking up info on this. Linda

Thanks Joe. I'm finding more friends than family and this is a good thing too! There are lots of Coxons here in the USA and have heard from a few. Good luck on your search.

Do you know where George Coxon lived? THe
1870 census of Eastchester, NY shows a George
Coxon, he was b. 3/18/1867, bapt. 9/6/1867
at St James Church in Scarsdale. Parents are
James and Susannah (Susan) Coxon. George was
one of many children. My ggrandmother was
his sister.

Hi. Your message was forward to me. Your George Coxon lived very near my husband's family in Greenwich, Ct. George was one of 9 children born in Osmonton, Derbyshire, Eng.
He came to US in 1902 and married Jane (Susan) Johnson (Johanson). George and Jane had a son, George (only child). But George Sr. was thew son of George and Sarah Taylor Coxon who also lived in Brailsford and Shirley, Derby., Eng. From George, B. 1877 back the generations had very large families with many sons. Very possible you are descended from one of the brothers or cousins. Have many Coxon names of Derbyshire, but don't know how they or if they connect to my Coxons.

Have you checked the federal census? The 1880 census and 1900 would help determine when they came to the US. Keep in touch and email further data for me to work with.

Peggy.

My George Coxon was a younger brother of my
ggrandmother, Mary Jane Coxon. They were
both born in the U.S. Mary Jane probably in
New Rochelle, NY, and George in Eastchester
NY area. Mary Jane was born 1851 and George ,
as I mentioned in 1867.

Census records of NY in 1850, 1860, 1870 show
James and Susannah Coxon (parents) born in
England. They apparently came to Canada
first, since children Anne and William listed
on 1850, and 1860 census as born Canada (Anne
in 1847, and Wm. 1849.) Next is Mary Jane- US
born in 1851. So they obviously migrated to
New Rochelle from somewhere in Canada. I
have not yet had any success in finding the
ship they came to Canada on or where James
and Susannah were married either in England
most likely) or in Canada.

Do you have any suggestions for me to begin
to trace this?

Thanks.

Susan
