Coxes of Viney Hill and Yorkley Slade (General)

I would like to find out more about the life of my grandfather and his family who lived in Yorkley around 1892, the year he was born. My grandfather's name was Charles Maynard Cox and his parents were Albert Edward Cox and Elizabeth Partridge Cox. They are buried at Viney Hill. My grandfather immigrated to America around 1923 and settled in Birmingham, Alabama, where I was born.
My mother and I were told by my grandfather that my g-grandfather was a minister and a Methodist. Anyone have suggestions where I can search to find whether Albert Edward Cox was indeed a minister or connected to the Methodist church in some way. I would also like to find further information on his wife Elizabeth Partridge. Anyone familiar with Partridges' in Gloucestershire. Thank you.
