William Fox was the father of George Fox who was born in around 1834 in Shepherdswell, Kent, England.


Birth

William Fox was born in around 1804 in Elham, Kent.

Marriage

William married Margaret Mummery in 1830 in Hougham, near Dover in Kent. It doesn't seem a likely location for their marriage, however a Margaret Mummery was born in Lydden in 1810 which matches her birth as written in the later censuses.

Children

They had the following children together:

  • George Fox, ~1835 (Shepperdswell)/(Womenswold)
  • John Fox, ~1837 (Womenswold)
  • Mary Fox, ~1840 (Womenswold)
  • James Fox, ~1843 (Womenswold)

  • Jane Fox, ~1846 (Womenswold)
  • Job Fox, ~1848 (Womenswold)
  • Frederick Fox, ~1850 (Womenswold)
  • Fanny Fox, ~1854 (Womenswold)

In 1851 William was 46, a farmer of 13 acres, and living with his family at Woolwich Green, Womenswold, Kent.

In 1861 William was 57, still living with his family at Woolwich Green, Womenswold, Kent. He was a farmer of 20 acres employing 1 man and a carrier. His house was big enough for his family of 6 as well as 5 boarders.
