One of my 2x great grandmother's surname was Cocks and therefore her paternal line were Cocks. When she married the spelling was Cox. The surname seems to have been very common in Devon and Cornwall.

I have a friend who married a Kiwi and became Mrs. Co**burn. It is fine when you say it, but not how it is spelt.

I also have a Dick Biggs in my tree, who always reminds me of Biggus Dickus in Life of Brian.
