Hi,

Sure previous post is the connection and this takes you back further:-

John William Jouett = Helen Stimson June Q 1878 Sheffield.

Registered with incorrect spelling of both surnames.

1881 Census  Brightside Bierlow
Piece -4657, Folio - 44, Pages 22 and 23

They are still having trouble with the Jowett name it is listed as Forncett and Stimson no P:-
Robert Stimson   60
Lenetta Stimson   55
John E. Stimson   22
Charles H. Stimson   15
Lenitta Stimson   12
Helen Forncett     21
John W. Forncett   23        Belper Derbyshire
Cornelius J. Forncett  2

It is definitely Forncett on the census return. I wonder if they changed their name for some reason.

On second thoughts the fact that it has a double T at the end preceded by an e makes just an error by the enumerator.

Thank you Rosie.

Rosie the address on Rhoda's birth certificate is 63 Tullibardine Road, district of Ecclesall Bierlow
We have been led to believe this is where the Jowett family were....

Just looking at the information above (blimey!) some of which I do recognise and have found in my research. I don't recognise the  John William Jowett details..... Shall be looking at that, thank you!

Thank you for all your comments. Much appreciated

Can't believe that the details I needed were there all along, just got too bogged down with the tree and hadn't made the Forncett connection.....

Now onto Rhoda's father, I will try looking for baptism records...

After yesterday's help, I've been able to make sense of the Jowett family details , there are various addresses but none that match Rhoda's birth certificate. I guess it does make sense that Rhoda would be with Cornelius and his family at Woodstock Road, wish I could confirm it as I know my mum would love to know Rhoda was with close family.

Searching online for baptism records for Rhoda but no records as yet. Baptism records are a new search for me so I'm not sure how much I need to know to search further?

Apologies - I omitted to fully read the T&Cs before posting the 1911 information.

I have looked up the birth address for Rhoda and see it is a private house - sometimes addresses on birth certs are hospitals!

You could ask the library local to the address to tell you who was on the Electoral Register for the address at the time of the birth and a few years afterwards.

You could do the same for the Jowetts address to see if they stayed there from 1911 and after they took Rhoda in.

Thanks Margaret. I have been in contact with the Ecclesall library but they don't hold those kind of records. They suggested emailing Sheffield archives and so I'm now waiting to hear back.....

In the meantime, I have dug Rhoda's marriage certificate out again, and her address on that is 24 Woodstock Road in 1937.....and I've found Cornelius still at no.28 in 1925.... Hoping there is a connection
