Thanks, JeannieR.  I saw that, too, and hoped it was my Fanny.  I sent away for the birth registration and she's the daughter of Edward Seddon and Ann Walker, which is what I'd thought.  But she likely married Tom Bellerby in Huddersfield where she'd been working as a servant in the 1881 Census and so she's not my Fanny.

I've gone back to my original supposition that my Fanny is the daughter of Joseph Rothwell and Sarah Seddon and that she was born away from England (he was in the Royal Artillery) and so not registered there as the rest of the Rothwell children are.  Unfortunately, there's no way to prove it that I can think of!

Hi PuzzlNut,

I'm researching Amelia Rothwell & Arthur McDonald for my wife at the moment.
I believe that Amelia Rothwell was Fanny's sister.

Let me plot the parents and siblings that I've managed to uncover on Ancestry.co.uk.

Father: Joseph Rothwell
Birth 1833 in Barnsley, Yorkshire, England
Death before 1869 in India

Mother: Sarah Seddon
Birth 18 Mar 1830 in Cawthorne, Yorkshire, England
Death  Unknown

Children of Joseph and Sarah:
-> Amelia Rothwell
-> Alice Ann Rothwell
-> William Henry  Rothwell
-> Fanny Rothwell
-> Augusta Sarah Rothwell

Fanny Rothwell:
Birth:  10 Jun 1860 in Yorkshire, England
Marriage to Henry Jepson 20th March 1879 - Age: 18 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Death 14 July 1891 in Longford, Tasmania, Australia

I don't believe that Fanny was ever known as Seddon.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else?
Regards,
Chris

Thanks for your comments, Chris.  I am as sure as I can be without proof that Fanny was Amelia's sister.  I'd be very interested to know more about what happened to Amelia as it might help me confirm in my own mind that Fanny belongs here.  I've never been able to find any proof, just overwhelming coincidences.

I was side-tracked, as you can see from earlier discussion on this thread, believing that Fanny was actually a Seddon, but I know this now not to be true

Another sister, Augusta Sarah, called one of her daughters Fanny and Fanny called one of her daughters Augusta Sarah.  I've been trying to find more about this sister, who eventually came to Canada after the death of her first husband, but so far, nothing.

Looking at the information you've passed on (thank you) I'm thinking you probably got it from the family tree I've set up on Ancestry.  Nevertheless, I'd still be interested in learning about Amelia. 

I appreciate your contribution!

Hello

I don't know if the information that I have will assist you.
I have a Bible that I picked up in Puna India dated 1873.
There is an inscription inside Presented to Thomas Seddon 1926 from a James Fox who it states was his son in law, it also mentions an adult school at Monk Bretton.

Hi Rusclare,

The bible is a great find.
Would you be able to take a picture of the front cover and the signed page by James if you wouldn't mind?

Thomas Seddon is part of my wife's family tree, so it would be great to have that for our records.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Chris

Hi J R,
I'm in Australia.
I'm willing to reimburse/pay for postage if you're happy to part with the bible.

hanch02 - how does your wife fit in the Seddon family?  Thomas Seddon would be my 3X Great Grandfather.  His daughter Sarah was first married to Joseph Rothwell and after he died, she married James Fox.  Sarah's daughter Fanny was my Grandmother.  When she died, her husband, Henry Jepson married Fanny's cousin Ellen Ford (whose mother Martha was Sarah's older sister)
