Hi all,
I had almost given up on trying to find the name of my gggrandad's mother when I recently got some info.
His name was George Robotham b.1871 in Staffordshire. His father is listed as Enoch Robotham b.1841. The only marriage we can find for him is to Alice West but she was his second wife. We couldn't find his mother.
Then I was sent some info from the 1881 census:
The only George in the 1881 census born in Staffordshire around 1871 is:
Dwelling: High Street Private House
Census Place: Kingswinford, Stafford, England
Source: FHL Film 1341693 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 2891 Folio 97 Page 2
Marr Age Sex Birthplace
William CHALLINGSWORTH M 70 M Kingswinford Strote, Stafford, England
Rel: Head
Occ: Invalid
Elizabeth CHALLINGSWORTH M 50 F Kingswinford Strote, Stafford, England
Rel: Wife
Joseph CHALLINGSWORTH U 24 M Kingswinford Stote, Stafford, England
Rel: Son
Occ: Glass Cutter
Elizbth ROWBOTTOM U 7 F Kingswinford, Stafford, England
Rel: Grd Dar
Occ: Scholar
George ROWBOTTOM U 9 M Kingswinford, Stafford, England
Rel: Gr-Son
Occ: Scholar
This leads me to think that a Challingsworth may have been George's mother (if this is in fact my George). I haven't been able to get a birth certificate for him as I cannot get enough information.
Can anyone help? I may be on a wild goose chase but this is the only clue I have to follow at the moment in order to find George's mother!
Thanks,
Donna
