Chuck Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I am searching for any info on Adam Rothwell, born around 1810, not sure which area, he was married in 1831 to Mary Birchall, they were married at St Mary's Church Prescot. They had 2 sons, John in 1831 and William in 1834. I cannot find any record of Adam's birth, I would welcome any assistance in my search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrbill Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I have an Elizabeth Rothwell, father Richard, who married Peter Bickerstaff in 1855. Peter and Elizabeth had a daughter Alice who married John Rigby. Is Elizabeth one of your Rothwells? Addresses were in Parr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philippa Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi, Adam Rothwell and Mary Birchall had three sons, John born 19.3.1832, baptised at All Saints, Rainford, William born c1834 and Adam born in 1835 and baptised at St. Elphins Church, Warrington on 24.5.1835. The family's address at the time was Lower Bank Street, Warrington the father's occupation was crate maker. Adam, the father died aged 29 and was buried at St. Elphins on 17.5.1835, a week before his son's baptism. His widow, Mary nee Birchall, was remarried in 1840 to William Mills, a widower with children from Rainford. Mary's sons John and William lived with the couple but are listed as lodgers on the 1841 and 1851 censuses. William and Mary also had about six children together, including twin daughters. Incidentally, young Adam Rothwell died in 1839 and was buried at St. Elphins, Warrington. Adam Rothwell was born around 1805 but I cannot trace his parents. His son William born around 1834 is my great great grandfather. Although I have found records of his parents' marriage and his brothers' baptisms, unfortunately I cannot find a record of William's baptism. Hope this is of interest. John and William as lodgers threw me at first until I found a record of Mary's remarriage which gave her maiden name as Birchall and her father's name as Thomas Birchall.
