George Ellis 1860-Deceased and Emily Ellis (née Emily ROSEWARNE 1865-1944)

Chatting with my mother about our family history, I recall her saying details of the ELLIS line of our family are few and far between.

With this in mind I searched FreeBMD in order to match George ELLIS 1860-Deceased with a spouse. Eventually in Sheffield I found a likely marriage between one George ELLIS 1860-Deceased and one Emily Ellis (née Emily ROSEWARNE 1865-1944). The date of September 1882 met my expectations, and furthermore, the name ROSEWARNE seemed somewhat familiar.

A few days later my mother confirmed the name ROSEWARNE and supplied some very valuable additional information regarding George ELLIS 1860-Deceased and Emily Ellis (née Emily ROSEWARNE 1865-1944). More searching revealed the surname ROSEWARNE to be indigenous to the Redruth and Penzance areas of Cornwall. This makes searching the Sheffield area somewhat easier.

Continuing my search for a BELLAMY and a ROTHERHAM I found a marriage entry that includes both.

Marriages September 1881
BELLAMY Sarah Ann, Sheffield
PETTY William Toyne, Sheffield
ROTHERHAM Frederick, Sheffield
SMITH Lucy Anne, Sheffield

I think I can safely assume that Sarah Ann BELLAMY and Frederick ROTHERHAM married, gave birth to a son Frederick ROTHERHAM, and the grandson was included in the England and Wales Census 1891 of his grandparents' household.

My earlier search that established a link to Richard ROTHERHAM and Frances Lily ELLIS still provides plenty of intrigue!

Updates:
2005-12-15 Further research has shown this data is probably NOT linked to my family. This data may prove useful to other researchers so I will retain it.
