X00380 Richard Rothwell EOL

I had posted earlier about X00372 where I found the parents of Henry Rothwell to be Richard and Mary Rothwell. I also found that Henry was born in 1811 in Haslingden, Lancashire. So, the next step was to see if I can find more info about the next generation.

I had a search through the Haslingden marriage records from that time period and managed to find a marriage record in Haslingden in 1803 for a Richard Rothwell and Mary Ratcliffe.

Interestingly enough, the marriage right below it on the page is between a Richard Rothwell and an Anne Kindle on the same day.

When I had been searching earlier I also found a death record record for a Richard Radcliffe Rothwell, an innkeeper who died in 1842 aged 50, which would suggest a birth year of about 1892. Far too young for it to be the same one, but it does suggest a connection between the Rothwell and Radcliffe families.

So, lots to investigate with my newly-found 5x great grandparents, Richard Rothwell (X00380) and Mary Ratcliffe (X00389). More to come.
