Hi, Belinda! I know that my Robinson family lived in Masbrough in 1864, and that they were glassmakers. I am just about to order the 1861 census film of that area, and hope to find them. I can let you know the household and siblings if you like. As you know, it takes weeks for those films to come in from Salt Lake City! (we live in Milton, Ontario) There were so many Robinsons, though! janetchopkins@hotmail.com >From: <belindar@sympatico.ca> >Reply-To: ENG-ROTHERHAM-L@rootsweb.com >To: ENG-ROTHERHAM-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [ROTH] Henry Robinson and Harriet Meaton or Heaton son James. >glassmakers >Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2003 20:23:05 -0500 > >Hi Janet: > >I don't know if we're linked or not but thought I'd drop you a line. >My great-grandfather was Reginald Robinson.

Hi My wife and myself are researching her maiden name Oxley, and have traced it back to a James Oxley born c1766 in Greasbrough. My hand written notes from a past visit to Rotherham Library show 2 possibilities James son of Robert + Mary of Gresbrough baptised 23/1/1766 James son of John (poss Jno) + Hannah of Greasbrough baptised 14/12/1766. I can not find any further mention of the second James any where else (IGI etc) I think this may be a error on my part when recording the Greasbrough records, does any body have access to Greasbrough baptism records to check this for me. I would appreciate any help and to hear from anybody else with an interest in the OXLEYS of Rotherham. Thanks in advance for any help Stuart Reeves stuartreeves@whsmithnet.co.uk

Hi list, I'm looking for a birth of a John Garlick b.ca.1778, he married a Elinor Pancheb in Rotherham in 1798, they then went to live in Sheffield ( Elinors home town ). The only otjher clue I have is that he was a shoe maker. Kind Regards Tony Millward Scarborough

Hello Thomas You can see the Wentworth Parish Records at Rotherham Library, Walker Street, Rotherham - I have been tracing my Smith family in Wentworth and have records of them back to 1728 - my grandfather, Algernon Smith and his siblings were all born in Wentworth to Joseph Smith and Emily - nee Dobson. The Rotherham Library also have all the Wentworth census records too and quite a bit of information about Wentworth. It is a lovely village - have you ever been there?

Hello listers near and far, there has been a lot of interest in recent days in glassworkers. Five years ago I wrote to Brian J M Hardyman,42 Hansom Place York YO3 7FQ who holds an index of glass industry workers with the few details I had of my Bennett glasworkers from Wombwell, Swinton and Mexboro. I enclosed an SSAE and had a very thorough reply. I hope that this may be of use to some of you who are having difficulties. best wishes Brian _________________________________________________________________ Chat online in real time with MSN Messenger http://messenger.msn.co.uk

I would give anything to have an ancestor named Hepzibah or Elimelech ... but no such luck! I realize that there is no index to the 1891 census, but I'm hoping that someone with the CDs and a bit of time on their hands might be able to help me out with a huge brick wall. I'm looking for my great-grandfather's elder brother, whose name was JOHN ROBINSON. He is my only link to getting back further in my family tree. At the time of the 1891 census he would have been two and a half years old (b. Oct 23, 1888 in Rotherham Union Workhouse). Hopefully in 1891 he would have been living with his mother ELIZABETH ROBINSON (age unknown, pottery hand) in the Kimberworth area of Rotherham. If there is an older JOHN ROBINSON (age unknown, potter) shown as the father that would be absolutely marvelous as we do have that information showing on a later marriage certificate but haven't been able to confirm it. JOHN ROBINSON (age 2 1/2) could have also been living with a family headed by CHARLES MAYCOCK as he had been adopted into that family by the time of the 1901 census. If anyone is able to find the family of CHARLES MAYCOCK in Kimberworth on the 1891 census (possibly parish of St. Thomas) that info would also be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks Karen anyway for your time. Cherie

Hi Janet: I don't know if we're linked or not but thought I'd drop you a line. My great-grandfather was Reginald Robinson. He and his brother John were born in Rotherham Union Workhouse between 1888 and 1892. Their mother was Elizabeth Robinson, but we're unsure as to the name of their father. Reginald's marriage certificate stated his father's name as John Robinson but so far we've not been able to confirm that. John Robinson Sr. (if that's who he was) and Elizabeth were involved in the potteries in Kimberworth. We've been unable to track Elizabeth's parentage because we can't find any info regarding her age, marriage, etc. By 1901 Reginald and John had been adopted into the family of Charles Maycock and Elizabeth (nee Jones)of the parish of St. Thomas in Kimberworth.

Hello to everyone on the list, I am researching my grandfather's family, which originated in Sunderland, then moved to York and finally to Rotherham (because of the glassworks in those areas, I believe). My g-father, JAMES DUGDALE, had the following siblings born after they arrived in Rotherham, according to the census:- ALICE b 1887 FRANK b 1889 ADA b 1892 ROSE b 1895 THOMAS b 1882 and FRED b 1885, along with my JAMES b 1879, were all born in York. THOMAS died in 1908 and my JAMES in 1915, but I have no idea what happened to the others. Can anyone help me to connect with them, please? Any advice appreciated. Regards, Helen

Hello Friends, I thought I would post my interests, in hopes of discovering some of the descendants who remained in England, of Thomas ALLPORT,artist. Thomas ALLPORT was bap. 14 Oct 1804 in Lichfield Stafford. along with his twin brother John. >From 1822-1828 Thomas was in Liverpool working with William ROSCOE, on the book Monandrian Plants, which Thomas was the artist for, painting the botanicals. In July 1834, Thomas is living in Sheffield, and in 1845 in the Sheffield Trade Directory, he is listed as a Miniature Painter/ Drawing Master and lives on Clifton Terrace Rotherham , Yorkshire. He remained in Rotherham until his death at age 73 (Sept quarter 1877) John ALLPORT died the Mar quarter 1879 in Rotherham. Thomas ALLPORT married Sarah THICKETT 8 Jan 1849 at the Parish Church Rotherham, and 3 children were born to them. *James born Dec quarter 1849 married Catherine Margaret ? , and they had children James and Kate. James Sr. was a draughtsman/designer for Yates, Haywood & Co. This is the family in the1891 census James Allport head aged 41 designer/draughtsman Rotherham Catherine Margaret Allport wife aged 41 born Scotland Kate Allport daughter 8 scholar born Kimberworth James Allport son aged 4 born Kimberworth living at 27 Ward St Rotherham (Kimberworth) *Sarah Ellen ALLPORT born Mar quarter 1851 married James LEWIS and emigrated to the US. *Mary Ann ALLPORT born 17 Aug 1852 in Kimberworth, was raised in boarding school (mother Sarah THICKETT died 30 Sept 1852). I can't find Mary Ann until she appears in the 1881 census living with James at 27 Ward St. Kimberworth, and listed as a school-mistress. Mary Ann married Roland Thomas JONES, had a daughter, Sarah, 15 Feb 1901 in Liverpool and Mary Ann died in Liverpool 27 Jan 1926. Sarah JONES, my grand-mother, emigrated to Canada in 1929. I would *dearly love* some help in discovering more information about James ALLPORT and his wife Catherine. In an article of 1930 of the Sheffield Daily Telegraph, James was said to have died, 'comparatively recently'. Thank you in advance for any help! Cheers~ Teena from the very wet, West Coast of BC Canada

Hello! I am a new lister, and this is my first post. I am researching a James Carratt Robinson who was born in Rotherham in 1862, in the subdistrict of Kimberworth, in Masbrough. I have the birth certificate. He was the son of Henry Robinson, glassblower, and his wife Harriet. I am unable to read Harriet's surname on this birth certificate, but it looks like Meaton, Heaton, or Maton. James grew up to be a glassmaker, and moved to County Durham, living in Gateshead, Durham. He married Frances Turner in Newcastle on Tyne. They had 5 children. He was killed at the end of the Boer War, reportedly the tallest man in the British Army at that time. On James' marriage cert, his father is listed as John Carrot Robinson, instead of the Henry that is on the birth certificate. I noted that also living in Gateshead was another glassmaker born in Rotherham, a possible brother of my James, He was William Robinson with a son called Henry. I would love to hear from anyone connected to these folks, janetchopkins@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
