An Old Resident Dead
For some time Mr Wm Tosh has been going down hill physically, but with wonderful pluck for one of his years he kept moving about until Saturday last, when he was compelled to give in and take to his bed. It was only for a short time, however, as on Wednesday morning, shortly after twelve o'clock worn out nature gave up the unequal struggle and he quietly passed away. Mr Tosh was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to Canada in 1832, when he was fourteen years of age, He worked for a time with the late Grenville Toshack, and afterwards farmed on his own account for several years on the ninth line of Ramsay. He then gave up farming and moved into town and worked for ten years with Messrs L. & G. Northrup, and the next two decades of his life were spent in the employ of Mr Jas H. Wylie. He was appointed caretaker of the town hall about thirteen years ago, and spent ten years at that position. The last three years he has enjoyed rest from his work. He was thrice married ? His first wife being Johanna Carswell, his second Clementine Syme, and his third Matilda Dudgeon, who survives him. In the first family there were five children ? Helen (Mrs Platt) and Margaret (Mrs Haber), of New Jersey; Jennie (Mrs Buchanan), Winnipeg; Thomas, Pakenham; Isabella (Mrs W. Cannon) Ramsay. Those of the second family are: Peter, of Pierson, Man.; R.C., of Ramsay; Jessie (Mrs W. Coxford), Almonte; Annie (Mrs W. Spalding), Perth; Agnes (Mrs Alex Clarke) Arnprior; William, of British Columbia; John, Wawanesa, Man.; James, Almonte and three died when young. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon, and, notwithstanding the exceeding cold quite a number paid a last token of respect to the deceased.

Notes:

?u?Coxford - Norfolk County, England?/u?

George and Mary Browne, friends (of Sylvianne Penner) from York, Yorkshire, England ran across a Coxford sign while visiting friends and kindly sent these pictures and ordnance survey map and did some research on the history of Coxford.

The nearest town of any size is Fakenham (52 degrees 50'n, 0' 51'E) about eight (8) miles from Coxford. There is a Coxford heath (see map) that is wet and partly wooded, unusual for the area. There was a Coxford Priory in the Middle Ages and the nearby village of Rudham benefited from the Market and Fair granted to the Priory. A lot of the stone from the ruins of the Priory were used in the foundation of a house called Raynham, built in the 1620's for Sir Roger Townsend. To quote from a Reference Library book: "The Plundering of Coxford for building stone created one of the most attractive monastic sites in Norfolk. There is much less masonry work than at most other abbeys, but its atmosphere of space and isolation is unique. Founded about 1140, dissolved in 1536 to become the property of the Duke of Norfolk and eventually passed on to the Townsends in 1597".

The ordnance map was obtained from the farmer who now owns this property. Very little of the Abby ruins remain. Cosford, according to the farmer consists of his farm and farmhouse, plus three other cottages. As George states, that's Coxford. not much nightlife I'm afraid.

Note: on the map of England, the names of to towns, Blakeney and Pakenham that are in close proximity to Coxford and undoubtedly, these names were transplanted to Canada to locales where the Coxfords settled.

?u?History of the Coxford Name
?/u?
These notes are according to Fred Sadler, a historian of Norfolk, England and rewritten by Sylvianne Penner of Calgary, AB

1066: Norman Invasion

1085: Stonework on St. Mary's (see photos) at East Rudham began.

1135-1154: Coxford Priory founded (Old Ruins) by William Cheney (a Norman) during Stephen's
Reign (originally at East Rudham). It was a Augustine Priory and was relocated in 1216.

1140: Normans came to this area, prior to this time the Saxon's constructed the Churches using flint a wedging between the stones. The Normans who brought their own stone masons used a cement mortar between stones so that many of these structures are still standing and in use.

?u?"Cokesford"

?/u?This is a Norman name which is possibly the origin of the name Coxford.
Cokes were Norman Landowners.
Ford meaning where there is no bridge, a shallow spot in the river.
Coxford (Cokesford) meaning landowners at the ford in the river. They were a higher class of society, not in the working class and may have come from Brittany.
Cokesford may have been spelled Cotesford. at one time.

1216: The Monks moved their headquarters from St. Mary's to Coxford Priory (Coxford Abby ruins) at the beginning of Henry III's Reign.

1301: Vicar of Rudham was John de Titeshale, Prior and Convent of Cokesford.

1305: Vicar of West Rudham was William Rademelde, Prior and Covent of Cokesford.
1534 John de Coxford, alias Mathew, was the last Prior.

1537 The Abby was dissolved
The Earl of Lester (who was a Coke, landowner) started the farm course rotary system of farming, soon after.

1623: Henry VIII ordered the absolution of Catholic Monasteries. Three churches, the Coxford Abby and two others were ordered destroyed. About the same time Black Death wiped out the Village of Sengham, which surrounded Coxford Abby. Sengham means home of Seng (Saxon). About 800-1000 survivors of the Black Death left Sengham and established Gates End about one mile away.
Gates End or perhaps Gates Hill is what is know at Tattersett today.
The Black Day is reported to have been brought to the area by a Tax Collector from London.

1719: A small pot of Roman coins was found in the Coxford Abby ruins in an underground passage, indicating that Romans were in this area at one time.

?u?Some Well Know People from this Area:?/u?

Sir Robert Walpole (1676-1745) He was the Prime Minister for King George I and King George II. His original home is in the area.
Earl of Orford (a Walpole) He was a Prince of England.
Many of these Walpoles known at the Earls of Orford are buried in St. Martin of Tours Church, at Houghton.

The house David McGill lived in is still standing, all enclosed, photocopy, it is opposite the building which was the General Store for many years, on the main street of Rosebank, now called Blakeney.

John Coxford: Occupation: stone mason
John died in a rock slide while working on the Rideau Canal. John may have also used the name James. The name John Coxford appears on his son (James) marriage certificate. I have not been able to determine which ship and exactly when the Coxfords came to Canada, but it is know that Mary was born after they arrived, so must of been in 1837-1838. John worked as a stone mason on the Rideau Canal and according to oral stories he was killed in a Rock Fall in the 1840's. There were two rock falls, the question is which one?

(Medical):There may be some historical confussion in that the construction of the Rideau Canal was between 1826-1832, although there was probably construction for years afterward, such as Lockmaster houses . As the workforce became available after completion of the Canal the stone houses of the area were built from 1834 on. It would seem more likely that John Coxford was killed in a quarry site or construction site post Rideau Canal construction.

DEATHS
In Ramsay, April 13th, Peter Thompson Syme, in his 96th year.

1896, Friday April 17, The Almonte Gazette page 8
Death of a Ramsay Pioneer and a Nonagenarian
Mr Peter T. Syme, of the 10th line of Ramsay, one of the early settlers of the township and one of its oldest citizens, passed away on Monday evening last, in his 96th year. The venerable gentleman had the use of all his faculties to a wonderful extant almost to the last. He enjoyed splendid health until June of last year, when he suffered from two strokes of paralysis; and some months ago a gangrenous trouble of the foot set in. The aged frame wore away by degrees till Monday, when he quietly fell into the sleep that knows no waking this side of the grave. The late Peter Thompson Syme was born in Boagles, Scotland, in June, 1800. When a boy he learned the trade of a carpenter in the old land. In 1833 he came to Canada. He married Jessie McLaren in Montreal on his arrival from Scotland, and they settled in Ramsay the same year, taking the farm on the tenth line now owned by Lieut-Col Gemmill and occupied by Mr John McPhail. After remaining there for some years Mr Syme purchased the present homestead, and lived there the balance of his long life. Mrs Syme died twenty-nine years ago. Eleven children were born to them, ten of whom survive, viz., Miss Isabella and Peter T. Syme, on the homestead; Mrs John Drynan, Almonte; Mrs A. Rose, Mrs Jas. Woodward, Mrs James Laws and Mrs John McIntyre, of Vernon Centre, N.Y.; Mrs Andrew Graham and James G. Syme, of Ramsay; and John Syme, of Fitzroy. Deceased was a good farmer, and succeeded in amassing a fair share of this world's goods. In religion he was a Presbyterian, and in politics a pronounced Reformer. He never sought public office of any kind. The remains were interred in the eighth line cemetery this (Thursday) afternoon, when a large number were present to pay the final tribute to respect to one who was for over sixty years identified with the affairs of this neighbourhood.
