Boyd-Rochfords - any information ?
« on: Wednesday 20 July 05 11:26 BST (UK) »
Hi,

This is a real 'long-shot - but you never know.......... !

I am trying to trace the Jackson family, who by all accounts left Yorkshire for Ireland around 1880. It seems as though they were working for a wealthy family called Boyd-Rochford in Yorkshire and followed them over to Ireland. I can't find a Boyd-Rochford family in any of the UK census' so I am a bit stuck. There seems to be some of them in Ireland around 1910 - all connected with horse racing/studs.

Anyone heard of them ?
Swaffield (Thorncombe & Broadwindsor)
Hoy (Romford & Matching)
Sargeant (Cambridgeshire)
Otway (Norfolk)
Stephens (Cornwall)

If you google boyd-rochford ireland you get lots of hits. You could try the 1901 census for where they say there were from. (Westmeath?)
