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 1832.
