Notes from Uncle Alex (June 2002):
Margaret Young is the last contact with the North and suggest you contact her. She has some useful memories.
Granddad Fox (my Dad) was a bright cookie. I am sure you know his achievements. His father died on or around 1914 ish having been involved in an accident with a lorry. Granny Fox was reared three children. Maggie, Beatrice (Margaret Young's mother) and James. Beatrice had diphtheria which caused some mental damage which was quite a burden for the family.
Granny Fox came from Northants to marry Robert Fox. I think Robert moved from Moorbattle.Yetholme in the late 19th century when there was a mass exodus from the rural areas. No work. Many went to Edinburgh.
My Dad had a Uncle who was a blacksmith in Yetholme. A. Pat has visited the house and I understand that his forge is now a feature in the lounge of his old house on the main street.
There were several bright relatives. I believe a sister of Robert was Headmistress of a school either in Morpeth or South Shields.
Granddad Fox did some research in to his family history but I have not been able to find any notes.
I have a rather sketchy recollection of him tracing the family back to the second Rebellion. He thought we were descended from French soldiers who cam over to support the Scots and afterwards settled in the Borders.
