County and Borough of Derby, and his wife Maria were living. Also living

Either William Cox born 1742 or his father William Cox was the entrepreneur
who made his fortune from lead refining and later land ownership. William also
founded the firms Cox & Malin and Cox & Bowring, noted wines and spirits
merchants. He also built the shot tower in Derby in 1809.
