Hello everyone,
This Lancashire family is huge and convoluted in the Bolton area, almost akin to Smiths elsewhere ;) Any thoughts gratefully received.
A few details : I have traced my line back to a Robert Roscow born in Bolton circa 1792, son of James and Mary. I am okay from then onwards down to me , but getting further back is the problem.
I have checked micro films for all the local churches I could find, and obviously what they have on line and I can't find a marriage for a James and Mary that would work..
I have found an MI at St Peter's Bolton that might throw light on the subject of James Roscoes parents and date of birth but can't find a marriage for them either though the baptism records are a bit more helpful.
No wills are extant if ever they existed.
Does anyone know the area? Can anyone suggest a method of sorting out the various strands of the family? A process of elimination perhaps?
Does anyone know anything about the Mary Roscow who married a Thomas Holden in Preston in 1764 for example? If I knew her lot I could cross them off my list :o
This is longwinded I know. I am really at the end of my tether about this
Thanks for reading this screed anyway
