Thanks Jon,

I'll bear that in mind. Until I find Sarah's family I can't tell if we have a connection.

Hi
I also have Yorkshire Rouths in my family, they were living near Tadcaster in the 1901 census; Joseph and Catherine with children Rose, Joseph, Annie, Maud, John, Maria? and Edith?.
I don't know too much about Joseph snr except that before moving to Tadcaster he was in the army stationed in India at some point, where the elder children were born. Catherine states her birthplace on the census as Ireland.
Let me know if they are linked to your Rouths or not.

Cheers
Rachel

Hi Rachel,

These are my Rouths on the 1881 census and I have Willaim and Jane's marriage certificate which shows his father was Thomas Routh and that's as far as I've gone at the moment.

I know it's been a while but have you made any more progress with your Routh's?
My Joseph's father was a James Routh born in Ripon in 1815. Joseph had 6 brothers.

Hi Rachel

I have found that William's parents were Thomas Routh bn about 1805 in Rothwell, Yorkshire and his mother was Ann Metcalfe bn about 1803 in Malton, Yorkshire.  I suspect his parents were Elias Routh and Sarah Cawthorne but I have no proof of this yet.

Was Thomas a brother or uncle of your Joseph?

Hi Rachel

I believe I was incorrect and now believe that the parents of Thomas were Duke Routh and Susannah Illingworth.  They were married in 1802 in Rothwell, Yorkshire.

I have William Routh as being born in Carthorpe, N Yorks and that's very close to Ripon so we have a connection if Thomas was a brother or uncle of Joseph.
