Shropshire / Re: ROE connection to Dorset?
« on: Sunday 05 January 25 18:33 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you both! Unfortunately I never got an alert that there had been a reply so I apologise for the delay.  I have indeed tracked down the book on Charles Roe (Dorothy Bentley Smith).  A wonderfully large book for the grand sum of £3.  She has Charles's family line back to Wem at the turn of the 1600s (2 generations before the Munslow link) so I am satisfied that the family is Shropshire (and surrounds) in it's roots.

I like to think there will be a connection but likely a few generations even further back so DNA will be my only recourse but it makes that a route now worth taking  :)

Hi there
I have come across your post whilst researching the earlier family of Charles Roe, in particular his father the Reverend Thomas Roe of Castleton, Derbyshire.  I know that he married 1698 in Macclesfield, Cheshire, with the record saying that they were both living in the parish.  And another online biography suggested a 1670 birth.  I had originally looked therefore in the radius of that area (there were 2 potentials in Whitchurch & Hanmer) but came across your note suggesting Thomas Roe was baptised 1670 in Munslow.  Would you mind sharing the evidence that this is the right 1670 one? I would be very excited if it was!

My own Roe line is very elusive.  I have a marriage in 1790 Ludford and can trace his wife's line back to the 1500s in Culmington, Shropshire - right next to Munslow.  Having tracked about 30 potential birth's, I have whittled it down to 2, one of which was born Ditton Priors - again right next to Munslow!  Ideally I need to find some DNA to compare :)

I know that my Roe's will be from Shropshire but it is so frustrating not to be able to get far back on my own name.  I don't think there is an immediate connection to Rev Thomas Roe (unless in the very dim and distant past) but there is a long sentimental story behind my request. 

Many thanks
Turia
