Hello,
I have just found this web site, and am hoping that someone may be able to help me trace details on my father-in-laws mum & dad.
My father in law was Percy Rowland b1920, and he never knew his parents as he was brought up, supposedly, by his grandparents.
From Percy's birth certificate, his father was Arthur Rowland and his mother was Florence Emily Dutton, and the wording on the birth cert implied that they were married.
We know, from other family members that there is some connection to Frederick Rowland, b1849 - Carden, Cheshire, who was married to Mary Gibson, b1851 - Rossett, Denbighshire, and were living in Churton by Aldford when Percy was born, and Percy also lived in Churton by Aldford when he was a child.
I cannot find a marriage record for Arthur & Florence Emily, Percy's parents, so don't have any details on Florence Emily either.
Another problem is that according to census records, Frederick & Mary Rowland had a son called Arthur b abt 1886 in Churton by Aldford, and they also had a grandson called Arthur (parents unknown), b abt 1899, and whilst I am almost sure that one of these two Arthurs is Percy's father, I am at a dead end trying to trace any firm evidence, and don't know where to go from here.
I have trees on both Ancestry & Genesreunited, so have access to census records and BMD records, and whilst I can find people who have the two Arthurs in their trees, they do not have wives or children listed for them.
I suppose what I am really hoping for (and I know its a long shot) is that someone out there can link an Arthur Rowland from Churton with a Florence Emily Dutton, and that way, I might find what I'm looking for.
Many thanks,
Dalavon.
