Hi Di,
My Foremans also came from Shoreditch, London and are true cockneys. Have you come across a Flynn who married a Foreman in the 1890's?

Hi Shannon
I haven't so far but that doesn't mean they didn't marry someone of that name. I have tended to stick to the direct line in order to get back as far as I can but I'm now widening my research to include the spouses of siblings so if I come acrss one I'll let you know.
What was the name of the Foreman so I can see if I have that name on my tree at least?
Regards

I have a large Rotherhithe Foreman Family, I am trying to find information on Thomas Foreman born c1825 not sure where he was born but he married a Sarah Spooner on 31/8/46 at St Pauls Deptford.
Thomas was a Sawyer and so was his father William Foreman.
This is as far as I have got.
So if anyone can shed any light on these I would be very grateful.
Many thanks.

Di,
I don't know if this is any help to you, but here goes.
My maternal grandmother was the daughter of a Neriah Holroyd, allegedly born about 1843 in Adwalton, which is just South of Leeds. Sadly, I have not yet been able to trace him any further back.
You will find the family on the 1881 census living in Wakefield. He was an unemployed blacksmith at the time.
I don't suppose there is a connection, but I was struck by the coincidence: many members of my family (particularly on my mother's side) have worked for the Yorkshire Post over the past century.

Hi Jon,
I expect there could well be some connection but I do believe that my Sarah Holroyd was born in Morley which is in the Dewsbury area I think. at about 1839 and in fact her first child was born in Morley too.
My gg grandparents actually lived in the Yorkshire Post building with all their children. My gg grandfather was the keeper of the building and his brother also lived with them there. He was a printer/compositor. I contacted the Yorkshire Post to ask if they had any records but they didn't reply >:(

Di,
Places in this part of Yorkshire are complicated. I didn't realise how much so till I started tracing my own family tree. Morley is in the ancient parish of Batley, Adwalton is in Birstall, but they're not very far apart at all. And Dewsbury's just down the road.

Thanks Jon,
I'll bear that in mind. Until I find Sarah's family I can't tell if we have a connection.

Hi
I also have Yorkshire Rouths in my family, they were living near Tadcaster in the 1901 census; Joseph and Catherine with children Rose, Joseph, Annie, Maud, John, Maria? and Edith?.
I don't know too much about Joseph snr except that before moving to Tadcaster he was in the army stationed in India at some point, where the elder children were born. Catherine states her birthplace on the census as Ireland.
Let me know if they are linked to your Rouths or not.
Cheers

Hi Rachel,
These are my Rouths on the 1881 census and I have Willaim and Jane's marriage certificate which shows his father was Thomas Routh and that's as far as I've gone at the moment.

I know it's been a while but have you made any more progress with your Routh's?
My Joseph's father was a James Routh born in Ripon in 1815. Joseph had 6 brothers.

Hi Rachel
I have found that William's parents were Thomas Routh bn about 1805 in Rothwell, Yorkshire and his mother was Ann Metcalfe bn about 1803 in Malton, Yorkshire. I suspect his parents were Elias Routh and Sarah Cawthorne but I have no proof of this yet.
Was Thomas a brother or uncle of your Joseph?

Hi Rachel
I believe I was incorrect and now believe that the parents of Thomas were Duke Routh and Susannah Illingworth. They were married in 1802 in Rothwell, Yorkshire.
I have William Routh as being born in Carthorpe, N Yorks and that's very close to Ripon so we have a connection if Thomas was a brother or uncle of Joseph.
