Birth of Rhoda / Rodia Speight Swinton? wath area Yorkshire 1793 ish
« on: Sunday 07 January 18 09:50 GMT (UK) »
Has anybody any knowledge of this lady? She was my 4 time great grandmother on the direct female line. Was she indeed born a Speight? Think she is daughter of william Speight and Susan Smith, but first reference to her in Wath records is a birth of a child before marriage. Has anybody seen the bastardy order?

What surname did she use when she married - Speight or Swinton - or both?

Birth of Rhoda / Rodia Speight Swinton?

In view of Paco's reply below - Swinton appears to be her birthplace not her surname.  Subject header is mis-leading

Family trees online have Rhoda born in Swinton 1792 to John Speight and Susan Smith. Brothers Charles and George -1793 and 1795. However something seems a little odd at this point as father John married Ann Marr in 1795 in Rotherham, followed by another marriage in 1807 to Mary Kemp in Wath. Rhoda appears to have had an illegitimate son Charles Brameld Speight born Wath 9th December 1812.He died 14th March 1887 in York.  Was baptised in Wath on Deane 27th December 1812.  Lots to check out very thoroughly!!
regards.

sorry. Yes Rhoda/ Rhodia/ Rhodey was supposedly born in Swinton. She did indeed marry John Crofts from lincolnshire and my G 3 times grt Grandmother was Elizabeth Crofts.

I have a feeling somebody will have seen a Herodia or similar born to a Suzanne Smith or a Sarah around 1792. All the Wiliams and John Sp[eight go back to the same paternal line, it is her Mother that intrigues me!

Was It Susan Smith daughter of Thomas the farmer miner, or Sarah Law? Think Anne Marr too late, and so is Mary Maw. If you know differemt..;)
