There is a George Cox whose death was recorded at the Dursley Workhouse on February 13, 1892 at the age of 78 (Register Reference: G/DU69, Page No. 17). He died at the Cam workhouse and was buried there. This same George is listed in the 1881 Census as living at the Cam Workhouse as a farm laborer (http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?Dursley/Dursley.shtml). With him is Harriet Cox aged 32. The census says they were both born at Cam but from looking at the birthplaces for some of the other inmates they might have simply listed which workhouses they were living in at the time. It seems this might be the George Cox married to Ann Matilda Jones (Brooks) and their daughter Harriet.
