I have crossed-checked the censuses, and I can find no entry for this Susan Cock after 1861 and I can find no entry for Susannah Cox before her marriage. Her parents spelt their name Cock on the registration of marriage, but Cox after 1871, and the spelling Cox was used for the registration of some of their children. She must have moved to Derbyshire between 1861 and 1867, but it is not clear where she met William Belton.
