My grandmother was Jane Tankard Rochfort - the daughter of Miles Tankard and Emily (nee Hogg) Rochfort. She was born in Bradford in 1891. Miles Tankard Rochfort was the son of Elizabeth Rochfort and he was born around 1855, also in Bradford.
Elizabeth Rochfort appears in the 1841 and 1851 census as the daughter of Jane and Benjamin Tankard and I deduce that they were both born in 1816.
I am interested in Jane, wife of Benjamin as I again find her in the 1861 census as a 72 year old widow but living on "income from property" at 10 Landsdowne Place in Bradford Elizabeth Rochfort is still living with her. Coincidentally, there is a Amelia Tankard living at 8 Landsdowne Place - also a widow of 50. It cannot be coincidence and I presume some relationship.
If anyone can shed some light on Jane and Amelia I would really appreciate it.
Also any information on Elizabeth Rochfort would be welcome. In the 1841 census she is seen in the household of her mother and father with sons Benjamin and George and is, presumably, married - possibly to a Walter Rochfort. In the 1861 census she is still living with her mother and Miles Tankard and brother Walter are also there.
