Hi Henk
For Cox, his home was at Wood Green and he is buried in Tottenham, both places are within the registration area covered by Edmonton,so he may have died on leave and may ,himself, have been an Air Raid victim depending where the bombs dropped, Neither his parents or wife seem to be on CWGC as Civilian casualties. The Germans never stopped raiding London but in early 1943 the intensity and frequency was lower and didn't pick up again until Late 43-Early 44 in what came to be called the Little Blitz
Regards
