Surname in Lancashire - Roodeyworth/Roodyworth
« on: Saturday 08 September 18 19:42 BST (UK) »
There is a marriage record with image on Ancestry, for a marriage between John Ford and
Ann(y) Roodeyworth/Roodyworth 10 July 1774 at St Helens Parish Church.

I've had a quick look for the name Roodeyworth/Roodyworth and can't see anything at all other than this marriage.  Mind you, I'm not great at searching via Familysearch.  Can anyone expand on this name at all?  I'm very intrigued.  These could be my 4th Great Grandparents.

thanks in advance, Kit

Thanks heatherjulie and Maiden Stone.  I can imagine that the name was spelt as it sounded.  However, from the record I've seen on Ancestry, Ann seems to have signed her name, rather than X.  Wonder who her father was and from where.

Mind you, it still doesn't get me any closer to knowing whether she is my 4th Great Grandmother. 

We do like a challenge  ::)

Thanks for the contributions.  Kit
