Annie Matilda Rodger(s) (née Annie Matilda Flowers) 1864- - England and Wales Census 1901 - Transcription
Article
It has taken me almost 6 months to find time to finally publish my transcription of the England and Wales Census 1901 return showing my great grandmother Florence ASHFORTH (née Florence FLOWERS 1876-1973) living with her sister Annie Matilda RODGER(S) (née Annie Matilda FLOWERS 1864-) at 8 Poplar Street in the parish of Nether Hallam, Sheffield.
Here is my transcription:
Census: England and Wales Census 1901
Place: 8 Poplar Street, Sheffield, Yorkshire, England
Household: Annie Matilda Rodger
| Surname | First name(s) | Rel | Status | Sex | Age | Occupation | Where Born | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rodger | Annie M | Head | Wife | Female | 36 | Sheffield, Yorkshire | ||
| Rodger | George H | Son | Single | Male | 17 | Punch striker | Sheffield, Yorkshire | |
| Rodger | John F | Son | Male | 8 | Sheffield, Yorkshire | |||
| Rodger | Joseph W | Son | Male | 6 | Sheffield, Yorkshire | |||

| Rodger | Arthur | Son | Male | 8m | Sheffield, Yorkshire | |||
| Ashforth | Florence | Sister | Married | Female | 24 | Charwoman | Sheffield, Yorkshire |
So this leads me down new avenues of research. I have yet to add the RODGER(S) family to my GEDCOM.
Further research leads me to believe the surname is more likely RODGERS.
It is interesting that my great grandmother Florence ASHFORTH (née Florence FLOWERS 1876-1973) is recorded as being married and living at the address; I would have expected her to be a visitor. Perhaps there was a family issue, or I think what is more likely is Henry RODGERS has recently passed away, leaving Annie Matilda with a very young child, and perhaps Florence is helping out. At some point I will try and spend a little time researching this curious situation.
