10 Geoff Coxon DECEMBER 27, 2016 AT 6:05 PM I was interested to read this entry, because Thomas {Coxon] was my ggg grandfather. I have researched my family tree, and was aware of most of the information, although not the bit about the shaving of the poor. As a matter of interest, I believe Thomas and Frances had a ninth child, a boy named Hammond, baptised on 4th April 1832, in Uttoxeter, and buried 6 weeks later on 17th May Geoff Coxon 2 thoughts on John Dumolo (d.1840) Plumber and Glazier One thought on Sampson Bartram ( ), Master Blacksmith, Uttoxeter 1. uttoxeterblog JANUARY 22, 2018 AT 12:12 PM William born 1831 and his wife Hannah, nee Sturgess in 1879 bought a farm called Meadowhurst part of the Chartley Estate at Grindley near Uttoxeter.
