Title: Richard Roffey of Surrey *Completed*
Post by: conseiller on Sunday 24 April 11 18:20 BST (UK)
I am trying to locate information about a family  - that of - Richard Roffey born 1872 at Horn in Surrey and his children - Eva born 1900 at Godstone,  Annie born 1902 at Croydon,  Nellie born 1904 at Croydon,  Minnie born 1907 at Croydon and finally  Edward born 1908 at Croydon. Their Mother was called  Eva.

Any information would be a huge help

Regards - Luc.

Hi the marriage was in Reigate Dec 1898 2a 366 Bride Eva Jessie Jacobs, using a combination of Roffey and Jacobs post 1911 their would appear to be a further birth:-

Henry T Roffey Dec 1913 Croydon 2a 496

Two possible marriages for Nellie, both in Croydon, one in 1928, the other 1929.

Two possible marriages for Minnie, both in Croydon, both in 1933; there is an earlier one in 1921 but unlikely as she would have been only 14.

Likely one for Edward, 1938 in Croydon.  There is also one in 1924 in Croydon.

There's a marriage registration for a Henry T Roffey, MarQ 1940, Croydon.

Hi

I have the Roffey's in my family tree and according to this tree, richard was born to Michael Roffey baptised 9 august 1835 in Godstone.  He married Margaret Winchester who came from Hailsham in East Sussex on 2 June 1866, not sure where the marriage took place currently.

Michael was the little brother of Ann Roffey who was my great x 3 grandmother.

If you would like any more information going backwards let me know.  

Also according to the Roffey tree I have, Richard did marry Eva Jessie Jacobs in 1898.  The only child I have for them is Eva May born 1900 in Godstone.

Hi Stuart

Richard born 1786 in Godstone is not on any of the Roffey trees I have (I have my own and sight of two passed to me by other Roffey researchers.  However he has to fit in somewhere.

Do you have any other information about him that might help to track him down?  I presume you don't have his baptism?

Hi Neil

I have had a look for Victor on the trees I have sight of and he doesn't appear on any of them.  However I have a hard copy ancestor chart from a contact that is not on my tree ( a bit too removed from me) and will dig it out over the weekend and see if he appears.

Kerry

Just checked and he doesn't appear on the paper copy either.

No baptism, although other Ancestry trees suggest August 1875. Census records from 1851 give Godstone as his place of birth.

He married Hannah Elllis in Godstone on April 7th 1807, and moved to London by 1812. He was a bricklayer.

Hello Luc
