Rosina Banks was born 1801 in Worcester and died 1870 as Rosanna Banks.
Is there anyone who is able to locate her on the census of 1841 or 1851 or 1861 please? Her parents are thought to be Edward and Mary.
Family lore has it that she was a school teacher but we have no information about her except for her birth and death. As she never married it is possible that she resided with one of her siblings, who are thought to be Mary, Joseph, John, Elizabeth and Edward.
We have information regarding John and his family but nothing at all about any of the others.
Thank you for reading this. Any information will be most appreciated.
Janae.

This seems to fit:
1861 census:
14, Hobbs Buildings, Wylds Lane, St Peter, Worcester
BANKS, Roseanna Head Unmarried F 54 Schoolmistress
born Worcester
The transcription on FindMyPast states married, but if you look at the original, it's clearly 'Unm'.

Here she is in 1851:
Sidbury Street, St Peters, Worcester
BANKS, Rosanna Head Unmarried F 42 School Mistress
born St Peters Worcestershire
MAYPOLE, Mary Niece Unmarried F 22 Gloveress
born St Peters Worcestershire
LUST, Elizabeth Lodger Unmarried F 47 Servant born St Peters
Worcestershire
The FindMyPast states that she is a lodger, but on the original 'lodger' is crossed out: she is clearly head of the household.

and in 1841:
Bath Road, St Peter, Worcester
BANKS, Roseana F 30 Schoolmistress Worcestershire
WINLOCK, Anna F 17 (occupatioin difficult to read - could be Glover) Worcestershire

Thank you, Cati. You have given me another clue. Mary Maypole must have been a child of either her sister Mary or her sister Elizabeth. So Mary must have been born c 1830. What a shame registrations didn't start earlier.
