Frances English
Parents
| Father | Johannes English (b. about February 1850, d. 1926) |
| Mother | Brigida Power (b. 1852, d. 5 May 1905) |
Family: Alfred Herbert Roby, M M, (b. 23 February 1873, d. 23 May 1955)
| Son | Alfred Roby (b. 25 August 1906, d. 17 February 1984) |
| Daughter | Irene Nettacress Roby+ (b. 5 January 1913, d. January 1984) |
Main Events
| Also Known As | Frances English was also known as Fanny Roby. |
| Religious Affiliation | She was affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church - but I never saw or heard from her or my mother anything that suggested she had any connection with those RC beginnings. My Mum was active in the CofE church of St. John at Fairfield in Liverpool. |
| Occupation | She was a Book Binder. |
| User Reference Number | She; 64 |
| Note | Alfred was baptised in a Church of England in Prescot, St. Mary’s. His wife-to-be, Frances English, who was baptised in a RC church. So, perhaps it is not surprising for them to get married in a Registry Office. |
| Birth | She was born on 30 January 1875 in 22 Barmouth Street, St. Martin, Liverpool, England, There is no doubt that Frances is the daughter of Joannes English and Brigida Power - I say this because Frances' parents were Roman Catholics and consequently quite difficult to trace back through the records. I knew her well and never knew she had been brought up in the RC church. I note that Frances was born in England and her younger sister Maria Brigida English was born in Ireland. Their father was often away at sea, being a ship's baker. His ships often visited Liverpool. It is not clear to ne exactly when John and Brigid settled in Liverpool, but given the birth dates of these two children, it must have been 1872, 1873 or 1874. [[Principal Role]] [[Witness Role: ]].  |
| Baptism | She was baptised on 9 February 1875 in St. Albans RC Church, Liverpool, I note that she is referred to as "Francesca English". |
| Confirmation | She was confirmed on 9 December 1886 in Our Lady of Immaculate Conception. |
| Occupation | She was a book binder in Liverpool in 1901. |
| Residence | She resided in 74 Butler St, West Derby, in 1905. |
| Marriage | Frances English and Alfred Herbert Roby, M M, were married on 4 February 1905 in The Registry Office, West Derby, (Reference :- REG_WD/216/132) Reference 8b 727 Liverpool. I wonder whether the marriege took place in the Registry Office because Alfred was a Protestant and Frances a Roman Catholic. I have no knowledge of the reason ... but I note that young Alfred was born 18 months later, so we can rule that one out. |

| Residence | She resided See notes.1 |
| User Reference Number | She; 18965 |
| Note | Event Memos from GEDCOM Import... Residence Redburga or Raedburh was the wife of king Egbert of Wessex and may have been the sister-in-law of Charlemagne as the sister of his fourth wife, Luitgarde; other sources describe her as his sister (although Charlemagne's only sister was named Gisela) or his great-granddaughter (which would be difficult to accomplish in the forty-six years after Charlemagne's birth) or the daughter of his sister-in-law or his niece. Some genealogies identify her as the granddaughter of Pepin the Short and great-granddaughter of Charles Martel; other scholars doubt that she existed at all, other than as a name in a much later manuscript. She appears in a medieval manuscript from Oxford and is described as 'regis Francorum sororia' which translates as 'sister to the King of the Franks'. More specifically, sororia means 'pertaining to someone's sister', hence sister-in-law. According to some accounts, Charlemagne arranged Raedburh's marriage to Egbert in the year 800. Egbert, who had been forced into exile at Charlemagne's court by Offa, King of Mercia, returned to England in 802, where he became King of Wessex and later king of all England. Raedburh's son Ethelwulf succeeded Egbert. Raedburh was also, according to this version of events, the grandmother of Thyra Dannebod Queen of Denmark, who was the wife of the Viking King Gorm 'the Old' of Denmark and the mother of Harald Bluetooth Blataand King of Denmark. Confusing matters still further is the rival tradition that Raedburh survived Egbert, who by these accounts died in 811. This individual devoted her life to helping the poor and became known as 'Saint Ida of Herzfeld'. Among her reported acts of kindness were filling a stone coffin with food each day, then giving it to the poor; she also reportedly founded the church at Hofstadt, Westphalia, and the convent of Herzfeld, sometimes recorded as Herford or Hervorden, where she is buried. She was canonized on November 26, 980, is the patron saint of brides and widows and is frequently depicted either as carrying a church or with a dove hovering over her head. It appears, however, that this Saint Ida was married to a different Egbert, a duke of all Saxony between the Rhine and the Weser appointed by Charlemagne. Unless the Egbert reported in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle to have regained his throne in Wessex in 802 was, in fact, serving instead as a feudal supporter of Charlemagne in Saxony for many of the years following his return to Wessex, Saint Ida was not the Raedburh who married Egbert of Wessex. Given the irreconcilable differences in the dates of death given for these two Egberts, that conclusion appears more likely. Her son Ethelwulf later became King of England. Her grandson is Alfred the Great. |
