    Default rowbotham family in Lincolnshire

    hi,

    my grandfather, John Rowbotham nicknamed 'Jack' emigrated to new Zealand sometime around 1940 or maybe earlier. I know he came from Lincoln area. He settled in NZ, married Doreen and had 3 children, one of whom - John - is my father. He was a farmer most of his life. Any help would be appreciated as I have lived in London for some time now and would love to find some family. Sadly Jack died in 2003.

    thanks,

    Leigh

    Hi Leigh

    Welcome to the forum. The 1st step is to get a copy of your grandfather's birth & marriage certificates. I presume his NZ marriage certificate will give the name of his father. His birth certificate will give the name of both parents & include his mother's maiden name.
    Rowbotham is not that common a name in Lincolnshire - only about 70 listed in the 1901 census. Unlike Lancashire which has nearly 400.
    Any idea where in Lincolshire he came from?
