Hi all
Does anyone have any connection with this family. They migrated to Canada arriving in Montreal in 1926. We have Ada Mary Rosewarne b.1887 St Erth, Cornwall and her children Avenel Olive Rosewarne b.1910 and Joseph John Rosewarne b.1911 d.1969. I'd love to know what became of them. All I know is that they went to stay with Thornley Stevens (Ada Mary's brother). Ada is my Great, Great Aunt.

www.canada411.ca
is an on-line telephone directory and only has 13 Rosewarne's listed so that could be a starting point.

I can look up the BC death and marriage registrations and give you a transcription of the documents if you are interested. I should be able to get them done by the end of June if you're willing to wait.

Wow, good for Ada! ;D
Son's previous marriage never came up before...but it's in the archives site.
Joseph John Rosewarne, married Feb 25 1933, to Nellie Senemiuk

Thank you all SO much for the replies - that's wonderful!! :-)
Could I be really cheeky and add another son of Ada's who I've found on our 1911 Census (he was visiting relatives so was not on the immediate family census). His name is William Henry Rosewarne b.1909 St Erth (I think!). I do know that he was already living with his uncle Thornley by the time Ada and children emigrated in 1926.
On the emigration info it states that Ada was a widow but I'm not convinced. There seems to be no trace of a death for her husband John Joseph between the 1911 Census and 1926 but there is one for Joseph John Rosewarne in Birmingham in 1943 - aged 55 which fits!!
Perhaps there was a bit of marital strife!! :-)
Susan, thanks so much for the offer :-) Any info would be greatly received and I'm not in a rush so whenever suits you...............thank you!!
-
Ooops!! Her husband was Joseph John NOT John Joseph!! :-)
-
Thank you for the Thornley Stevens ..been looking for him!
Ada Mary Rosewarne also joined her brother George who had gone to Canada and at one stage looked after his youngest daughter Olivia. If you look for George Stevens and Winifred Hobbs on Rootsweb you will find his family and be able to take the family further back ..I have a lot of St Erth info on them.

Do you have any connection to this family:
Devon 1871 RG10/2080/54/19
Olivia Rosewarne 32 married miner's wife Illogan Cornwall
Henry 17 Illogan
Jane 8 Illogan
John 4 Buck Fast leigh Devon
William 8 months Ashburton Devon
1881 RG11/5196/96/28
Thomas Rosswarren 41 married Cranborne Cornwall
John 14 Buckfastleigh Devon
William 10 Ashburton Devon
Albert E 8 Eskdale Cumberland
Olivia 6 Irton Cumberland
My connection is to John [Vincent] Rosewarne who emigrated to the United States [allegedly around 1882], married Minnie Ethelda Logan in Wisconsin in 1892, had numerous children, and settled eventually in Seattle, Washington. He was a Methodist minister and also seems to have had some marital strife. He died in Los Angeles in 1944.

Hi Anne,
Ada is my great aunt, sister of my grand father George Stevens. My father is Robert Nelson Stevens. My sister, Kathleen, remembers Ada being so proud of herself, still in her late 80's, catching the city bus from Vancouver to Surrey BC to visit her.
My wife, Wendy, is also the family history nut (to say the least). I have given my great nephew a bible signed by Lucy Jacka in the 1880's, that I had received from my father. There was an inscription by Lucy to George wishing him luck on his journey upon leaving St Erth for New York in 1895. We live in Victoria and either have or can get any BMD doc's from the BC Archives. Many of them are available to download directly into your computer. We have downloaded quite a few BMD's and if you let us know what you want we can send them by email. We have access cards for the BC Archives and the University of Victoria newspaper microfilm library.
Are you the Anne in Hampshire England that my wife has spoken to on Ancestry??

Hi Dave :)
Yes, I am the Anne that your wife Wendy has met on Ancestry...........'tis a small world ;)
My Great Grandfather was Thomas Henry Stevens (b.1880) who was the brother of Ada Mary and your Grandfather George.
How lucky are you to have such wonderful treasures and memories to pass on! :)
My Grandmother Carrie was one of thirteen children born to Thomas and his wife Eveline Jane Rogers.
It was only when I started my research that I discovered all these long lost relatives as I honestly thought my Grandmother was an only child as I had never heard mention of or met any of them! :(
I've been busy of late so 'family treeing' has had to take a little break but any wonderful gems that you think I'd like to see would be wonderful.
Please say "Hi" to Wendy for me and tell her that I did check out Vancouver Island and Butchart Gardens and they are absolutely stunning.
Keep in touch, Anne :)

Hi 'Erato'
I've just had a quick look through the Rosewarnes on my family tree and can't see a link at the moment. My ancestor married a Rosewarne so I haven't really gone back with them. If anything appears I'll let you know :)
