Hi Jennyc,

If you have the correct dates, then he does not appear to be on Ancestry. Do you have the name of his mother or his address as this may help.

His father was John W Fox and his mother was Mary H ? They are on the 1891 and 1901 census think his family were from liverpool and leeds, he married Nellie Sheridan in manchester in 1909 but don't have address sorry.
