Captain Robert COCKS was recorded predominantly as COCKS, not COX. This is evident per later in life when Annie died in 28 July 1889 in Sydney, aged 56. [1]
Article corrected to be COCKS.– Q8682 ( talk) 16:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Did William MacGREGOR have a first wife? The National Library of Australia system Trove has a photograph of MacGREGOR's father-in-law Captain Robert COCKS. [1] There is a note on the page:
Was there a first wife, and if so, when and whom? Ancestry.com entries suggest MacGREGOR was married to Mary THOMSON (married 04 Oct 1868, Towie; died 09 Feb 1877, Fiji). However... no printed reliable publicly-available source found.– Q8682 ( talk) 16:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

One daughter (A)lpina Viti MacGREGOR was married to Admiral PAGET and died in 1918. [1] Another daughter was still unmarried by that date and referred to as Babs (short for Barbara?). [1] Babs had a place in London, a cottage in Bognor, and looking after her orphaned niece Honor PAGET. [2]
The obituaries for Sir William MacGREGOR indicate he was survived by a son and three daughters. [3] Yet for Lady MacGREGOR, nothing at all. Who was the surviving son and a possible third daughter (and if so, did she survive past 1919)?
One Ancestry.com family tree indicates: William MacGREGOR (1846-1919), Mary Jane Cocks (1839-1919):
However, another records them with half-siblings, to Mary THOMSON (married 04 Oct 1868, Towie; died 09 Feb 1877, Fiji):
This would give one son and three daughters, although only two daughters alive at time of MacGREGOR's death in 1919. However... no printed reliable publicly-available source found.– Q8682 ( talk) 16:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
