FOX
The FOX family emanate, as far back as we have got, from Cornwall, in the early days at St Germans and laterly and mostly around Falmouth. They were a prominent Quaker family, and the three most relevant marriages into PEASE and HODGKIN would almost certainly have been ‘facilitated’ at the annual meeting at Friends House in London- there is no other good explanation about how Quakers in Darlington would have met and married those from so far away in Falmouth- the distance is 435 miles!
Sarah Lloyd who married Alfred FOX is directly descended from the banking LLOYDs.
