Research Note For a long time the marriage of a Thomas Cox to a Martha Beaton in December 1807 in Christ Church Southwark was the only one that I could find in a reasonable time and place. Many family trees online concurred with that but it didn't 'feel' quite right. There were two reasons, neither of which was a dealbreaker - one, that the marriage was for Martha not Martha Ann and, two, that Martha signed with an X while Thomas was able to read and write.
I was thrilled to be contacted by another descendant who has found what I now think is the correct record
