1851/1861 Yorkshire (Bradford?) request ROWNTREE

[clr1979]

I'm looking for any info on a Fred Rowntree, born 1849 (june qtr) in Bradford.

As i found out yesterday though, Rowntree may be spelled Roundtree (a problem that I'm still having these days).

Thanks

Bradford is a huge area to search is there anyway you can pin it down to a District?

I have the 1861 Census and would be more than willing to do a look up for you but i dont have a name index, so a district or better still an address would be very very helpful

I'm at work at the moment, when I get home I'll see if I have any other info.

The only thing I can tell you before I get home is that when he got married and had a family (c1869) I think he was living in bowling. Not 100% sure about this though.

The earliest info i have is from the 1881 census where the family are living in North Bierley. I know that they moved to Bowling after that, so Bowling is probably a no go.

This is all I know, the birth register only says Bradford and I haven't looked at the 1871 census yet.

IT's a bit late now...but will check through the census tomorrow for you.

Nice one!!!

I've gone through the whole of North Bierley and nothing i,m afraid.  If you could get someone to check the 1871 and maybe get a district from that i'd be happy to re look for you.

Sorry

I'll see what I can come up with.

Thanks for looking though.
