Hi Folks Simon here. My grandfather, Bernard Henry Jessop Wilson, started combing through many documents to start off our family tree. My mother and now me are carrying on. I am looking for as much information as possible about the Roebucks (from JA Roebuck fame) to the Jessop family (Jessop Hospital for Women). Any information would of course be greatly appreciated. My Grandfather had a strong suspicion that the Jessops and the Roebucks were linked together sometime through marriage. Look forward to hearing from someone. Best wishes Simon Robinson -- Whatever you Wanadoo: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/time/ This email has been checked for most known viruses - find out more at: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/help/id/7098.htm
hello Simon Welcome to the list! Since we are talking about two prominent Sheffield families, there may be pedigrees in Sheffield Archives which would shed light on this. This list works particularly well when considering specific questions. So if you can tell us about some 'unknowns' at the margins of what is known we can ferret away at them :-) for those who don't know about JA Roebuck, take a look at (for example) http://www.imagesonline.bl.uk/britishlibrary/controller/subjectidsearch?id=11144 Roebuck Road is just over the hill from where I live. Hugh in Sheffield ps It's a good idea to tell us where you are in the world - we may need to take that into account when suggesting sources of information. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Robinson" <srimages@fsmail.net> To: <ENG-SHEFFIELD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2005 11:16 AM Subject: [SHEFF] Roebuck - Jessop > Hi Folks > Simon here.
