ROTHERHAM MYERS
Many of the Rotherham Myers are
descendants from Francis Myers c1728 and Sarah Emmerson c1736. Francis
married Sarah Emmerson in Rotherham in 1757 and thereafter had four
sons that we know of; Joseph, Edward, Francis and William. Having
looked at the Darfield records, we can find no trace of Myers births
before 1750, however, there is a Francis baptised in Barnsley in 1728.
Barnsley is 5 miles from Wombwell and it is not too far a stretch to
assume that he might be our Francis. Jane and I have, therefore,
included his parents and siblings in the lineage.
Joseph died in 1762 and was survived
by his three brothers to adulthood. This significantly large Myers
tree can be traced back to these three brothers. The families lived in
and around Masbrough and Kimberworth but spread and settled during the
19th century to Leeds, Sheffield, Barnsley, The Potteries,
Scarborough, North America, South Africa and Australasia.
Jane Eddies and I would like to
thank: - Ron Cawton, Clive Garnett, John Hammerton, Patricia
Hardisty, David Hawkes, Chris Hobbs, Anne McSheffrey, Paula Myers,
Peter Myers, Jack Palmer, Christine Spatcher, Bernard Sharp, Karen
Szekeres and Penelope Tweeddale for their invaluable contribution to
this effort.
While we have tried to be as accurate
as possible, we make no warranty as to the total veracity of this
tree, since so much information has been donated. Use this as a guide
and check the information for yourselves if you find something that
you feel needs changing, please contact Jane at this e-mail
address.
