There does not seem to have been a marriage in Middleton. I also checked Romaldkirk across the border in Yorkshire as it was also a lead mining area. There were earlier Robothams/Rawbottoms at Staindrop but no James as far as I can see. Also nothing on the Joiner Index of marriages.

Hi fiddlerslass

Yes date was wrong for nelly, thanks for pointing it out, James Rowbotham seems to have come from north Derbyshire, so could have married there or even on the way up in Sheffield,
but as first child was born in the area 1766 thought it might have been same area of marriage,
would a death notice be around for James Rowbotham? I did have the information you sent but it was so kind of you to look this up and send it,
many many thanks greatly appreciate help on this posting.

which does not seem to fit yours who should be in Teesdale in 1805. There does not seem to be a will probated in Durham either.

  Hi fidderslass, the death of Ann 11th June 1800 would fit in with my Rowbotham's wouldn't it,
i know family tree's are notorious for getting things wrong but would any one kindly look up any Rowbotham family tree just incase answer's can be found please.

Hi

Fiddlerslass posted documents from Durham showing a Robert Allinson { 2nd November 1784 }
just above James Rowbottom,  can any one come up with any thing on Robert Allinson,
who did he marry, any children.
My reason for asking in Alice Robottom married Isaac Allinson 1801, Romaldkirk,
i'm wondering if!! Robert Allinson is Isaac's father.
Alice Rowbottom was baptised 14th April 1788, Brassington, North Derbyshire.
Any help greatly appreciated.
All the best.

Hi,
 According to the BT's Isaac senior was a native of Middleton (bapt Ist son Isaac 1802). He may be either

Allinson, Isaac, bapt 24 Feb 1777, child of William and Sarah of Stony Coum, Harwood or
Allinson, Isaac, bapt 9 Jan 1778, child of Thomas and Ann of Forrest

Igi coverage for Romaldkirk bapts only goes up to 1772, but there is no Isaac Allison or variant before then. Perhaps go with  Isaac son of Thomas, as I see that name occurs in Isaac & Alice's children.

Of course there may still be a connection but ALLINSON's are quite numerous in the area!

Thanks fiddlerslass

with all these Rowbotham & variations of spelling i'm just getting a bit confused,
i will have to have a think on this one
Big thank you

Hi,

when the London Lead Company first came to Teesdale 13 Derbyshire lead miners and thier families
came and worked in Newbiggin, i wonder if a list of names would exist of these folks,
Durham Records Office have told me if they have a list it would take a researcher to look it up,
a arm and a leg come to mind going down that route, has any one any idea where names of these first lead miners might be held if!! they exist at all, i'm trying to establish a James Rowbotham was amongst those first lead miners.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Derek
