  Documents		Cox, W&A (1881 Eng.) This 1881 England census demonstrates the William Albert Cox family just before their immigration to America. However it also shows that Charles is two years old placing his birth year in 1879. Betty Smallwood and I had several debates over when he was born with Betty claiming his birth year was more like 1877 based on unknown documents she had seen.

• Ships

  S.S. Alaska copy The Alaska was a record breaking British passenger liner that won the Blue Riband for the Guion Line as the fastest liner on the Atlantic in 1882. She was a slightly larger and faster edition of Guion's Arizona and in 1883 became the first liner to make the crossing to New York in under a week. However, Alaska burned 250 tons of coal per day, as compared to Arizona's already high 135 tons. Built by John Elder & Company of Glasgow, she carried 350 first class passengers and 1,000 steerage. As in the case of Arizona, Stephen Guion also personally owned Alaska. Alaska completed 100 voyages when Guion suspended sailings in 1894. She proved difficult to sell and was finally chartered in 1897 by Cia. Transatlanticia Espanola as a troop transport. In 1899, Alaska was sold for scrap, but was resold to the Barrow shipyard where she was used as an accommodiation hulk until broken up in 1902.
