 Hi

  Does anyone have links to the Rowbotham families of Derby town and Twyford

 My family of Rowbotham's Thomas Rowbotham born Coventry Warwick his father was Joseph Rowbotham born Twyford

Thomas married Mary Ann Marsh on the 27th January 1856 in St Peters Derby they went on to have 5 children Eliza, Caroline ( MY Great grandmother) Mary jane, louisa and harriet in Derby then they had Henrietta in Codnor Park before moving to Rotherham where they changed their name to Turner and had 2 more children in Rotherham and registered them under their new name of Turner. The Children have all been registered but I cannot find any baptisms for them . visited the records office in Matlock and went through all the non conformist registers for Derby town we could find also the records for Twyford for Joseph Rowbotham but to no avail.

  Did find some burials in the uncosecrated ground of the Cemetery.

  Caroline Rowbotham/Turner was baptised when she was 19 in Rotherham under the name of Turner just before she married .

   Has anyone come across this surname on their research please or any suggestions where to look next

Thank You Lorraine
