Hi Ellis
Probably not – Braeburns flower very late indeed, so although they will pollinate themselves, the Coxs will be over before the Braeburns can do the job. (And Coxs Orange Pippins are self sterile apple trees).
The apple trees you might want to think about are varieties like Ashmead’s Kernel (outstanding taste), Beauty Of Bath (the best somerset apple), Early Victoria (if you want a really good cooker), Pitmaston Pineapple or Winter Gem (for a cox like late eater). They are all outstanding apple trees that will serve you well – and give you fruit you don’t get in the shops….
Good luck
