Subject: Rowbothams - Hinckley Leicestershire

Charles William Rowbotham was born in Caythorpe Lincs in 1869. He was the oldest child of Joseph Rowbotham and Emily (nee Smith)and had younger twin brother and sister. Jack ended up in Leicester and Kate emigrated to Canada, dying in Vancouver in 1951.

Charles William married Sarah Elizabeth Houghton in Wolverhampton in 1893 and they had sons, Albert and Frederick and possibly another.

One of their descendants moved to Hinckley and married a woman named Beatrice Mabel...they lived at 130 Strathmore Road and had four daughters, Jean, Shirley, Joyce and Margery. Beatrice Mabel Rowbotham was born on November 5th 1905 and died in Nuneaton District on December 29th 1977. There may have been someone in the family called Charles, who worked as an AA man, having previously been in the military police.

If anyone recognises any of these names, I would be grateful if they would contact me. An appeal in the local paper has so far produced no result.

Thanks

Sheila

Pleased to report this line has now been found through a further approach to the Hinckley Times and I now have a second cousin once removed who only lives ten minutes walk from me!
