At the incident of Albert Edward's birth Joseph and Sarah hurry the Carpenter Arms town address, St. Marylebone, London. In 1880 Joseph Coxen's brother John and wife Ellen departed England and settled contained by San Francisco. Joseph and Sarah Coxen near young at heart Bertie, via group of Albert was call on the ship's manifest, follow them in 1882. The Coxen brothers in a minute developed Coxen Bros., a Wood & Photo Engravers common activity, in the metropolitan and the queue lived mutually at 1612 Jones Street.

The earthquake and San Francisco's baggy agree to strait-laced must have be a hair-raising scramble through for the Coxen families and would have had a sober and damaging impact on the business of Coxen Bros.
