Bamford. The Wright and Rowarth families

[Dalesman]

Looking for information where Bamford Farmer, Samuel Wright was born 1781-1851, buried at Hathersage Parish Church.

Also looking for two Rowarth families who lived at Bamford.

1.Family of Emma Rowarth buried at Bamford Parish Church. 1930 aged 67 years.

2. Family of Ellis Rowarth b. 1860 at Bamford?

[Gardener]

Do you have anything else to go on?

I see that there is a burial at Hathersage:

7th Sept 1821 Robert Wright of Bamford aged 73

He could be this one

Robert Wright bpt 14th Aug 1748 Edale, son of Samuel and Ann Wright (IGI abstracted)

In the same batch there is:

Samuel Wright 16th May 1776, son of Daniel and Martha Wright

and

Samuel Wright b 23 Aug 1780 bpt 11 Sep 1780, son of Robert and Elizabeth Wright

Where did you get the 1781 date from?

I couldn't find an Ellis Rowarth (and variant spellings) on the census or FreeBMD but there is this
1861 RG RG09/2546/10/13
Elias Rawarth 51 farmer of 23 acres Hope
Ann 38 Glossop
Abraham 15
Isaac 13
Hannah M 11
Jacob 9
Mary A 6
Elias 1

Allchidren born Hope which is very close to Bamford in the Hope valley

1871 RG10/3636/8/7
Thornhill
Hannah M Rowarth Head 21 farmer 22 acres Thornhill
Elias brother 11 Thornhill.

Looks like Hannah M has taken over the farm. What has happened to the rest of them. Of course this may not be who you are looking for but an interesting little story all the same.

Ah!

Tricker farm Wood lane Bamford
Elias Rowarth farmer Thornhill

So are the 1881 Ellis and this Elias one and the same.  Is this the Emma Rowarth born 1863 died 1930 you were looking for the wife of Elias/Ellis?

Thank you Gardener for your information.
On Samuel’s grave it states he died aged 70 yrs in 1851 so I presumed he died in 1781, just one year out.
Robert and Elizabeth Wright are buried in the adjoining grave.
Was there a church at Edale in 1748 when Robert was Christened?
