Find Ancestors

I would really like to know who William S Roe's parents were as I have already established a family tree, but he isn't on it. I would also like to know if there is a link between the Tipperary Roes an ones in Northamptonshire.

Sadly this might be William senior in 1841:

Address: Thrapston Union Workhouse, Thrapston County: Northamptonshire

ROE, William M 7 1834 Northamptonshire

There is also a 9 yr old Jane Roe in the workhouse.

????

This possible marriage seems a bit out of area for both Mary and William S, and a bit tight for birth of son Albert who is 5 in 1871

EDIT: I now think this is wrong, as I believe William is actually William A, not William S, on the actual image of the 1871 census (ie wrongly transcribed).

I've posted what I believe to be the correct marriage for William Allen Roe born c1834 Woodford, Northants, further down the thread.

That is really interesting :-) I know that my ancestors were from Woodford, but I haven't come across William S Roe before. Who were his parents?

You have his parents in the 1871 census above, William S Roe born c1835 Woodford and Mary born Sussex.

That all fits with what I have found except that William was born in London. I am trying to establish who his parents were so that I can understand why he was Esther's cousin. I was expecting him to have been born in Northamptonshire.

I know that Esther Roe married her cousin William and I know Esther's connection with my family, but I don't know about William b1869. They both went to America in 1914. any information would be helpful.
