Looking for a Victor Fox photo or drawing...
Yoc:
I thought as much. The Fletcher Hanks is one I'd love to know if it was him.
Good luck on the sources Dave, really would love to see something!
Yoc:
Hi Gang,
Just got back from doing some digging on Ancenstry.com and learned a few things new to me. Some might be old news but I might as well list them all here.
Victor S. Fox
Born: Apr. 13, 1893 in England.
Father: Joseph Mother: Bessie
Wife: Carolyne B Fox Married: 1943
Listed on an Air Canada flight from Toronto in 1941 as single, 5' 7", black hair, brown eyes. No distiguishing marks. (This is not when he immigrated.)
Lived in Rockridge, Conn. in 1947.
Possibly died May 14, 1953 and intered in the St. Paul Luterian Cemetary, Red Hill, Montgomery County, PA
I'm not 100% on this last one. It's a veteran's cemetary
David says this was not our Fox.
JonTheScanner:
If he first came to the US in 1941 when he was 38, and that is not clear from your data, it doesn't seem likely he'd be buried in a veterans cemetery, as it seems unlikely he'd have served in the US military.
David Lawrence:
I think Jon is misinterpreting part of Yoc's post. That 1941 air manifest is indeed THE Victor Fox but it's not his immigration to the US. The Fox family arrived prior to 1898, though I don't think I've been able to find the exact date of immigration.
The Montgomery PA Victor Fox, however, is not our guy. Our Victor died July 3, 1957 in Greenwich, Connecticut. I believe I have the name of the cemetery somewhere but I can't seem to find it right now.
Fox did spend some time in the military circa WW1, July 26 - December 24 1918, but was never deployed overseas. He may have avoided service for a time because he had a company that produced military uniforms.
And the maiden name of his mother is not Rosenberg. It is something along the lines of Duchansky; the spelling varies. I believe that she had relatives in the Fall River MA area, where the Foxes originally settled, as did Joseph.
Yoc:
Thanks for the corrections David. I meant to clarify it but forgot to later.
While Ancestry.com showed me a lot I sure wish they made it easier to concentrate a search down once you feel you have the correct person. Our Fox never shows a S.I.N. number, etc to help zero in on. The second Fox burried in Montgomery PA kept creeping up in my search attempts. Oh well, at least the 1941 air manifest was correct and new to me.
I had not much luck at all with my searhes on Ogden Whitney. :(
