Margie, I did a search at Heritage Quest and am sending this to the list in case it may help someone else as well. How do you like the following? I'm sure this is the right man, but in the search index the transcriber interpreted his name as ROUDE. In the census sheet, it is obviously ROCHE. I found him by doing a search of his first name. 1900 Uxbridge, Worcester, MA Census ED 1693 sheet 22A number 416, 481 no street given line 50 Roach, Cady, head, born June 1825, age 74; married 38 years; born in Ireland, parents born in Ireland; immigrated 1850; farmer; can read, write, and speak English; owns his farm. sheet 22B line 51 Mary E. wife, born 1834, age 66; married 38 years, had 5 children, 4 lived; born in Ireland, parents born in Ireland; can read and speak English, cannot write English line 52 Kate A. daughter, born Feb. 1864, single, born MA , weaver in woolen mill, can read, write and speak English line 55 Joanna B. daughter, born June; age 22, single, born in MA; teacher, public school; can read, write and speak English Following are others with similar surnames in Uxbridge only for the years you listed.. 1870 Uxbridge, Worcester, MA no ROCHE or ROACH listed 1900 Census > Massachusetts > WORCESTER > UXBRIDGE Series: T623 Roll: 694 Sheet 7B ED 1649 121 Carpenter St. There is a Mary ROACH age 38 , b Oct 1862, renting a house with a TOOMEY family listed as boarders: William, Wd, age 53; William C., Frank, Bridget, Mary [ages 11 - 24, all single] 1900 > Massachusetts > WORCESTER > UXBRIDGE Series: T623 Roll: 694 ED 1693 sheet 9A House number: 165, no street listed Thomas ROCHE age 37, b.
