Hello Karen, I don't have any connections to the surname ROCH and my connection to the DRABBLE surname at Stannington is quite a way back and I only know of one person at present, that being my 6th G.Grandmother, Susanna DRABBLE who married my 6th G.Grandfather, James CRAWSHAW on 17th March 1777 at St. Nicholas Church, High Bradfield. At some stage I hope to have a look at the DRABBLES but as I'm sure you know "so many surnames and so little time"...... Maybe some time soon though.
