Hi Puzzlnut,

Sounds like that makes my wife somewhat of a relation.....

My wife's great grandparents were Amelia Rothwell and Arthur McDonald.
If I've got my family tree correct, then I believe that makes Amelia & Fanny sisters.

Regards,
Chris

Yes, it does!  And there's another off-shoot of the family here in Canada - through Augusta.  All of the Rothwell children seem to have married in India.

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.
Regards J R

There's a James Fox 59 and his wife Sarah Fox 71 ! (she was born Cawthorne, Yorks) on 1901 census. he is retired army warrant officer. They are living in Barnsley. If you can find the 1911 census image, you can see how long they were married and whether they had any children together.
I think this is the James Fox mentioned on the bible inscription.

I have some information on the Rothwell family.

Joseph Rothwell married Sarah Seddon in 1851 and their children :

Amelia Rothwell's birth was registered in the September quarter of 1851 in the Barnsley registration area.

Alice Rothwell's birth was registered in the December quarter of 1852 in the Barnsley registration area.

William Henry Rothwell's birth was registered in the December quarter of 1855 in the Barnsley registration area.

Augusta Rothwell's birth was registered in the September quarter of 1866 in the Barnsley registration area.

The birth of Fanny Rothwell in 1860 would be consistent but I have not been able to find her.

I have looked on FreeBMD and the familysearch pilot site; is there anywhere else that could be checked?

Looks like an 11 year gap when the family was out of the country.
Fanny 1860 may not be the only child
Anne Rathwell (sic) b abt 1863 d 1868
