Henry Rodgers and Annie Matilda Rodgers (née Annie Matilda Flowers): Children added to GEDCOM

The England and Wales Census 1901 return for the household of Annie Matilda RODGER(S) (née Annie Matilda FLOWERS 1864-Deceased) records a number of children living in the household, these have been added to my GEDCOM. Annie's husband Henry RODGERS has disappeared so I am presuming he must have passed away quite recently.

Annie Matilda Rodgers is my great grandmother and Lydia Amelia is my grandmother. My mother is Phyllis. I believe Henry passed away, as Annie Matilda later re-married a George Senior, whom my grandmother did not have a good relationship with, I believe.

Annie Matilda Rodgers - née Flowers was my Great Grandmother. Her daughter Lydia Amelia Jowle - née Rodgers, was my Grandmother and Phyllis Clewes- née Jowle, was my mother.

I believe Henry died and Annie Matilda Rodgers remarried to a George / Henry Senior my grandmothers (Lydia Amelia Rodgers) step father, whom she did not have a good relationship with.

This is a transcription I made from the England and Wales Census 1901 for Samuel DIXON 1869-1906 and Mary Maria DIXON (née Mary Maria MAPLETHORPE 1878-1964):

In 1901 the DIXON household and a CARTER household were neighbours at Upton (Upton-cum-Kexby). Joseph CARTER the younger is 28 years old and Mary Maria DIXON (née Mary Maria MAPLETHORPE 1878-1964) is 24 years old. Is it possible Samuel DIXON 1869-1906 passed away and eventually Mary Maria married her neighbour's son, Joseph CARTER the younger?

It has taken me almost 6 months to find time to finally publish my transcription of the England and Wales Census 1901 return showing my great grandmother Florence ASHFORTH (née Florence FLOWERS 1876-1973) living with her sister Annie Matilda RODGER(S) (née Annie Matilda FLOWERS 1864-Deceased) at 8 Poplar Street in the parish of Nether Hallam, Sheffield.

Here is my transcription:

So this leads me down new avenues of research. I have yet to add the RODGER(S) family to my GEDCOM.

Notes:
Further research leads me to believe the surname is more likely RODGERS.

It is interesting that my great grandmother Florence ASHFORTH (née Florence FLOWERS 1876-1973) is recorded as being married and living at the address; I would have expected her to be a visitor. Perhaps there was a family issue, or I think what is more likely is Henry RODGERS had recently passed away, leaving Annie Matilda with a very young child, and perhaps Florence is helping out. At some point I will try and spend a little time researching this curious situation.

Updates:
2016-11-03 In this post "Register of Inmates, Ecclesall Bierlow Workhouse" I discovered Florence ASHFORTH (née Florence FLOWERS 1876-1973) together with her youngest son Ernest Ashforth 1905-1990 registered as inmates at the Ecclesall Bierlow Workhouse.

I can only surmise that during the period circa 1900-1905 something had happened to her husband William Henry ASHFORTH 1873-1926. Unfortunately I will probably never know.
He died in 1926 at the relatively early age of 52 years.

William Henry Ashforth and Ellen Ashforth (née Ellen Pasley)

Published: May 12, 2005    Last modified: March 8, 2015

Using information obtained from the England and Wales Census 1901 I carried out some work on my ASHFORTH line.

The census for property 173 Cuthbert Bank Road, Sheffield, Yorkshire shows my gg grandmother Ellen ASHFORTH as head of the household but there is no record of my gg grandfather William Henry ASHFORTH. Online records for June 1889 show a record of death for a William Henry ASHFORTH but I have no documentary evidence to support this.

Likewise records from another search online suggest that Ellen ASHFORTH's maiden name may have been Ellen PASLEY, though again I cannot substantiate this.

Interestingly the England and Wales Census 1901 records my great grandfather William Henry ASHFORTH 28 years of age and his son William Henry ASHFORTH 1896-1916 (my great uncle) 4 years of age are listed as 'visitors'. My grandfather Ernest ASHFORTH 1905-1990 was born February 1905.

Update:
2008-01-05 Ellen PASLEY proved to be incorrect. Please click here to read this update.

Courtesy of my parents and sister I now have a some returns for the England and Wales Census 1901. These include most of my immediate family and over the next few days I will update and modify my GEDCOM.

I have not conducted any family history research for a couple of years and so I had completely overlooked the fact that we (our family) already have a birth certificate for Ziller JACKLIN (née ALLEN) 1858-1949. This oversight just highlights the fact that I desperately need to catalogue all the existing documents.

Frederick Rotherham: Death

Published: April 18, 2005    Last modified: November 14, 2016

I may have solved the Frederick ROTHERHAM problem. I found an entry for March 1887 recording the death of a Frederick ROTHERHAM, the age at death is given as 28 years. Now this would explain why when I ran searches on the England and Wales Census 1901 against Frederick and Sarah Ann ROTHERHAM (née BELLAMY), predicted dates did not agree. I am still using conjecture, but will trust it for the time being. Of course there is still the problem of little Frederick ROTHERHAM, who according to the England and Wales Census 1891 would have been born in 1888 or 1889.

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.

Sarah Ann Bellamy: Marriage

Published: April 18, 2005    Last modified: May 22, 2022

I found a marriage for Sarah Ann BELLAMY:

Heeley Church Parish Registers 1891-1895
Marriage entry - September 1894
29. By Rev W Odom, Alfred SHORE to Sarah Ann BELLAMY

Unfortunately no addresses are given.

I have spent quite a few hours trying to match Sarah Ann BELLAMY and Frederick ROTHERHAM. Results obtained for Frederick ROTHERHAM and Sarah ROTHERHAM have left me more confused than ever; dates and ages do not concur. So this latest reference to Sarah Ann BELLAMY leaves me more intrigued than ever. I may have to bow to the inevitable, spend money, and obtain the full England and Wales Census 1901 entries or obtain appropriate certificates. Of course conjecture just breeds more conjecture so I will ponder this for a while.

George Bellamy

Published: April 17, 2005    Last modified: November 7, 2016

Another search of the England and Wales Census 1901 establishes a George BELLAMY age 62 and gives his occupation as 'General Carter and Grocer'. This is undoubtedly my gg Grandfather, since his date of birth is compatible with my GEDCOM.

George Bellamy, 62, Yorks, Sheffield, General Carter & Grocer

So we have a Grocer in the family!

Blanche Crookes (née Blanche Bellamy)

Published: April 17, 2005    Last modified: November 7, 2016

In order to corroborate the husband of Blanche BELLAMY I searched the England and Wales Census 1901 on 'first name', 'gender', 'approximate age' and 'where born'.

This entry would seem to confirm previous results which produced the names 'William CARTER' and 'Henry CROOKES':

Blanche CROOKES, 36, Sheffield, Nether Hallam, Yorkshire

I think it is reasonably safe to add the surname CROOKES to my GEDCOM.
