OAKHAM PARISH RECORDS - ROPSON
« on: Friday 24 May 13 22:24 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone could help me find any parish records relating to my ancestors the Ropson family.
I know that William Ropson had a brazier shop next door to the Waggon & Horses in the High Street, Oakham in 1791 as I have seen his advertisement in the old Stamford Mercury.  William's  children are stated on later Census to have been born in Oakham.
As it is quite an unusual name any births/deaths/marriages with the surname Ropson in the Oakham area would be helpful but I do know that the following were born there.
William Ropson b. 1772
Elizabeth Ropson b. 1793
Robert Ropson b. 1795
Mary Ropson b. 1798

Any assistance would be much appreciated
Thank you

Oakham

22 Aug 1795 - Robert Cumins Ropson baptised to William and Mary

There isn't one for William.  No marriage or burials pre 1813 in Rutland, and no bapts/marriages/burials in Rutland for Ropson 1813-1840.

A bit late in the day but I found a "Stray" marriage :-

William Ropson of Oakham  ma Mary CLAYTON of Harlaxton Lincs at Harlaxton on 25/10/1790.
Fits nicely with the birth of the children.

Hope this is of help.
