Martha daur of Joseph Rhodehouse and Mary Gill
I read the messages with great interest as it is the first time I've come across others with an interest in the Rhodehouse family.Like everyone else I've found the spellings vary enormously.
Martha was born in 1796 in Heeley Sheffield, the daugther of Joseph, a cutler, and Mary Gill.Somewhat confusingly Joseph was married twice and both to Mary's.In 1825 she married Benjamin Barstow in Rotherham, and they went on to live in Tinsley, where Benjamin was a woodman, charcoal burner and shopkeeper.They had three sons, and Thomas, the middle one is my 2 xG Grandfather.He followed in Benjamin's footsteps as a woodman.
I've found a few Rhodehouses in the area, but haven't yet traced Joseph's forebears, and don't have many details of the Rhodehouse family at all.If anyone can fill me in on anything, or would like to swap details, then I would love to find out more.It would be good to be able to put Martha in context.
