The Richard James Rodway which you mention is my ggrandfather. He was born in Reading England in 1819 and came to NF according to our family history "at an early age". Do you have fairly strong evidence that Elizabeth Rodway was born in Placentia Bay? If so, I do not beleive that my ggrandfather Richard and Elizabeth were brother/sister as I do not think that Richard's parents ever lived in NF. Richard married Mary Smith on Oct. 1, 1845, location unknown. Sometime in the 1860's they moved to Baine Hr. Placentia Bay where they both died in 1907. Does anyone have further info on Richard/Mary? I have fairly complete info on their immediate descendants if anyone interested.
