Francis Roe, my great-great grandfather, left Parwich, a picturesque farming village in Derbyshire, in his early twenties to make his way to Manchester. There he met and married Mary Ann Walker, a girl from Middlewich in Cheshire. Mary Ann was christened at St Michaels, Middlewich on 7 April 1822. They married on 29 April 1844 at the Cathedral in Manchester and lived in Spear St, in the centre of Manchester. Their first child, Thomas, was named after his father, a farmer back in Parwich.

John Roe, my great grandfather, married Dinah Yeomans in 1875 at Manchester Cathedral. Dinah was born in 1858 and was christened at Shavington, Cheshire. William Yeomans, Dinah's father, was born at Wrinehill, Cheshire and having met his wife, Ann Edwards who was from Congleton, they married in 1850 at St Chads, Wybunbury, Cheshire and settled in Shavington.
 
Albert Henry Roe, my grandfather, worked on the railways. He met Ellen Hamnett, in Manchester  where she worked as a maid at a house in South Manchester. He wooed her by throwing coal over the hedge backing onto the railway. Ellen was born in Withington, Manchester in 1894. Her family lived in Lady Barn, South Manchester, but were originally from Northenden, a village which at the time was in Cheshire. Albert and Ellen married and settled in Withington, South Manchester and had nine children, including three sets of twins. Sadly not all the children survived the traumas of birth.
