Oh wow...I'm not sure I know how to navigate through this website, as I've just started...but here goes. I've just started tracing my families roots in Rushden Northamptonshire. I remember seeing an address that family lived in Higham Ferrers but also Rushden. Are they the same place? One family member lived at 11 Griffith Street and some others lived at either 84 or 86 Crabb Street in Rushden. Could our ancestors have been neighbors. My great grandparents James & Eliza Penness lived on Crabb and his brother lived on Griffith. They made shoe components for a factory. Anybody have any knowledge of the Penness family. I have made some contacts over there from the U.S. James and Eliza had a huge family with about 9 kids: Clara, George, Harry,Horace, James, Gladys, Leonard, Jesse, Howard. Wow! How'd they manage?

I am researching the Penness family name. Eliza & James Penness were my great-grandparents and lived in Rushden on Crabb Street.
They had 9 children. One of them was George F. Penness, my grandfather. Thanks for any information regarding this.

Hi there,
Welcome to Rootschat,I'm sure you'll find us a very helpful and friendly bunch here
Firstly might I suggest that you start your own thread with a request for whatever you'd like us to find out for you.It's probably a good idea to tell us what you already have ie Census or BMD info.And what years you need.
I live in Higham Ferrers,which is much smaller than it's next door neighbour of Rushden.When we moved here 28 years ago the town had a population of about 5500 people.We have had lots of new houses built and there must be close on an extra 1000 now?
It is now quite difficult to tell where the two towns separate.
Both Crabb Street and Griffith Street are still there(google search it) the area has a few factories and small terraced houses.Most people used to work in the shoe factories around town.The two roads actually run parrallel to each other.
They can be seen in context on a local map at www.streetmap.co.uk
You were surprised that your ancestors had so many kids..........you'd be even more surprised if you saw how small these houses are!
My grandad grew up in Cheshire in a two up, two down terraced house,one of 12 kids!!!
All the best
Carol
