Hi all,
Does anyone have any information about Thomas Wicks Rodway? More specifically, his wife? I found today that he apparently married a Frances Latham, who according to the source, is the brother of John Latham from Hatherop. I'm trying to trace family members related to John Latham and want to confirm that this Frances is in fact his sister before I get to involved in it.
All I can find on Frances is that she came from a family of innkeepers.
Thanks in advance,
Crista

Oops, sorry! I knew I was forgetting something!
John Latham b.1730, father John Latham Senior
Thomas Wicks Rodway b.1738
No birth/death dates for Frances, but the marriage was July 5 1763 Kings Stanley.

Hi Helen,
Thanks very much for your reply today.
I am in NZ, where my grandfather, James Alphonsus Shear/s, emigrated to about a century ago.
He was the youngest son of Elizabeth Agnes Rodway, bn 1848, grand-daughter of Thomas Wicks Rodway's son John Rodway, bn 1765.
Would love to hear anything you know about the Lathams such as how many siblings Frances had, who her parents and grandparents were,etc.
Thanks again,
Sue

He married Susannah Barron in 1800, 22 Sept I think.
Their children were: John Rodway,bn 1802.
James Barron Rodway (my gt gt grandfather) bn 1807
Henry Barron Rodway, bn 1809-1810.
Frances Rodway, who married Thomas Chopping.
Susannah Rodway who married Philip Henry Mills.
Lucy Young Rodway, who married Thomas Benbow, a surgeon who died young.
Have a nice weekend
