Biography edit
John Cordeaux was born in February 27th, 1831 at Foston in Leicestershire.[1]
He was the eldest son of Rev. John Cordeaux (born 1802), rector of Hooton Roberts, Yorkshire, and Elizabeth, daughter of Christopher Taylor, of Tothill, Lincolnshire. On his mother's side he descended from Edward I.[2]
John the Elder held livings at Tothill in Lincolnshire, and at Foston and Fleckney in Leicestershire. He and Elizabeth had six sons and five daughters. When John the Elder moved to Sheffield to become vicar of St Mary's, John the younger went to Sheffield Collegiate School. Later, when the family moved to St Giles, Aintree, near Liverpool, he visited Liverpool College.[3]
His maternal grandfather, Christopher Taylor, lived at Tothill, near Louth. As a child John often visited him, and "it was here that he first gained his love of nature, exploring that part of Lincolnshire between the Wolds and the sea."[3]
