Subject: Rowbothams on the web: Manchester, Nuneaton


Here are three more references to early Rowbothams taken from the web.

Quoted from a book by Faucher translated as "Manchester in 1844", from a "deposition of one Titus Rowbotham, a mechanic, aged fifty-one years": "When I came to Manchester in 1801...".
We can infer that Titus Rowbotham was born elsewhere in or before 1793. Where is this Titus in the IGI? Now I have the book, but no more information.

Listed in the University of York Library: Microform sources for History
"Rowbotham, William. Rowbotham diaries, 1787-1830. Manchester..."
What might these contain?

From the "Nuneaton & North Warwickshire Family History Society - Journal", 1999: "the Robottom family of Hartshill... William who married Mary Bosworth in 1767. They had twelve sons and one daugher, all but one of whom survived to be mentioned William's will in 1799".
What a great source of Robottoms! I infer from the article that more is known about them.

I hope this helps,
Michele Chabot
