Find Ancestors

In the 1851 census:

Name: David Rodwell
Age: 4 MO
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1850
Relation: Son
Father's Name: William Rodwell
Mother's Name: Elizabeth Rodwell

Again searching at FreeBMD,

Births Dec 1850
Rodwell David Leicester 15 130

that certificate will give you Elizabeth's surname.


I wondered whether the children being so spaced out in 1851 might have indicated a second marriage for one of the parents, but here they are in 1841 in St Margarets with Bishops Fee, Leicestershire:

William Rodwell 25 - blacksmith as in 1851
Elizabeth Rodwell 25
Ellinor Rodwell 6 = Ellen (names were interchangeable)
James Rodwell 4
Charles Rodwell 5 MO

It seems there were some childhood deaths, explaining the gaps in 1851.

If you just search for Francis Rodwell marriages you'll find this:

Marriages Mar 1870
Rodwell Francis Penkridge 6a 536

The problem is, it's been mistranscribed -- you can tell because "Penkridge" is in italics, so the volume or page number is wrong.

Just search then for Harriet, married Mar quarter 1870 in Penkridge.

There's a groom missing from this page in the results:

> Marriages Mar 1870
Cooper Sarah Maria Penkridge 6b 536
Pike Henry John Penkridge 6b 536
> RAGG Harriet Penkridge 6b 536

If you order the certificate in her name, with those details, you will get their fathers' names.

yes, Ive tried so hard for ages to find these people and im struggling i didnt know if fresh eyes and more experienced people may have been able to help.

thanks jax

Tree on ancestry says Mebberson...is it yours??? fist child born 1833 so unless there is a marriage in the parish records a birth cert for one of the children would be needed
