Like so many of the early members of the church, the family of Richard and Sarah Knowles were not of the Church of England, they were noncomformists.. One of the benefits of this to present day family members is the wonderful records they left behind. In the records of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Ancoats, Manchester, Lancashire, England (FHL Film #560874) we find the record of the birth of one of the children of Richard and Sarah. On the record (shown above) it states that in the parish of Manchester, Alice the daughter of Richard Knowles and Sarah his wife, who was the daughter of James Rostron and Alice his wife was born on 1 May 1829. This now gives us that Sarah Rostron was the daughter of James and Alice Rostron.
