The Fox Family

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Mike Report 10 Feb 2008 20:41

I am trying to trace the Fox family originally from Workington in Cumbria. They are believed to have been the owners of Foxs Steelworks of Stocksbridge near Sheffield. My grandmother was a nanny to the boys, Peter Daniel Highthorn Fox, Gerry Fox, Denis Eric Leyland Fox. Their parents were Eric and Margarita Fox. The boys were born either just prior to or during the first world war. They had property at the following places, Little Court, Bexhill. Cowslade, Winchfield. Newlands , Workington. Knowles Mead, Ardingley, Sussex. Newland, Tadworth, Surrey.
The reason I am trying to trace family members is that since my mother in law went into a nursing home we have inherited some old photographs of the Fox family with the nanny and believe that they would be of some historical value to the family. Any assistance would be appreciated. I know that one of the sons, I believe its Peter was an officer in the army and married and had children, one is Caroline Jane Fox who then married Charles James Bell and had two children, Jonathan George Bell born 1972 and Susannah Kathrine Janet Bell born 1975. That is all I know of them. Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards

Mike
