Banbury |
I
have decided to use Banbury as an umbrella under which to place my COX family
who lived for a time at Great Bourton and Neithrop, and the NEAL family into
which they married who were based at Grimsbury.
This village was part of Northamptonshire at the time, but belonged to
the parish of Banbury, which is where records of baptisms, marriages and burials
appear.

From the Dictionary of Surnames:- Cock, derivative Cox: nickname from the bird Middle English cok, Old English cocc. Applied to someone strutting like a cock, became a generic term applied to youth. Alternatively, an early riser.
