    Default Family Rotheram/Rotherham

    Hi I am Fiona and am researching my family history. I am new to all of this including computers, so any help would be appreciated.

    I know the family goes back to the Archbishop of York 1423 Thomas Rotheram linked to Lincoln College.There is also a Coventry connection "Watchmakers & Engineers"

    If you know anything or are related I would be glad to hear from you.

    Thanks Fi

    Hi Fi,



    I think I have found some of your Rotherham's.



    John may have married Elizabeth (Eliza) Clapperton in early 1837.



    children born Coventry

    John b Dec qtr 1838

    Alexander b June qtr 1840 (probably around the 15th May as I found a christening for him on that date in St John Coventry on LDS)

    Mary Ann b June qtr 1843

    Ann Eliza b June qtr 1843

    Charlotte b Dec qtr 1844



    Alexander married a Jane Sheepshanks Dec qtr 1862 in Coventry and had at least one son Richard Alexander b June qtr 1865 Coventry.



    On the 1881 census Richard Alexander appears to be a boarder at Hindhead Road, Godalming Surrey England. This appears to be a school run by Gerald Stanley Davies.

    Hi Kate, I'm hoping that you may be able to help me (again!).

    I cannot get any info on Nicholas Rotheram, son of Sir George (b. 1541)and Jane Rotheram.( my 7xggrandfather) I have evidence that he married Agnes Atwood of Tring ,Herts. However I have also been given the name Catherine Round. They had a son Thomas R .

    Look forward to hearing from you

    Hi Fi,



    I can only manage a quick look this morning as I am shortly going out for the day. Will have a more extensive look later.



    Found George Rotherham b c 1540 married Jane Smyth b c 1545 married 10 January 1564/65 Harpenden Hertford. Jane's parents were Christopher Smyth and Margaret Hyde.



    One daughter so far Elizabeth born after 1570. Elizabeth married Sir Robert Payne.



    More daughters may be Affe b c 1564 Anne b c 1568.





    Have found a Nicholas Rotheram born 1584 Kingsbury Warwickshire but his parents are William Rotheram and Jane Gysborne.



    Hope this helps will check more later.

    Hi Kate

    Thanks for that info. Have you had any luck with Nicholas Rotheram and Catherine Round? A cousin of my father gave us the info above and that their son, Thomas ( a member of the Clockmakers Co, London 1654) married a Mary Fletcher but again no other dates other than 1654!

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Regards Fi

    Hi Fi,



    Sorry I have had no luck with them. I only have free resources that are available on the internet.



    Maybe someone else can help with them.
