Hi. Have you tried the 1901 and 1911 Irish census?
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
I had a look for Patrick Rossiter's living in a household with an older Thomas Rossiter in Wexford in 1911, and presuming your Thomas was a child at that stage, I could see two possibilities:
One is age 3 living in Grogan's Rd, Wexford, Co.Wexford
the other is age 10 living in Cull, Killag, Co.Wexford
Have a look, perhaps one is the right family.
Can't seem to find a possible Naughter/Noctor family. Presume Mary Anne would have been at least 5-10 years old when the census was taken.
Hope you can find them, Katharine.

Hi Katharine
Thanks for your reply. Its Patrick Rossiter that I am interested in.
I had a look for Patrick Rossiter's living in a household with an older Thomas Rossiter in Wexford in 1911, and presuming your Thomas was a child at that stage
Thomas Rossiter was Patrick's father.
I could see two possibilities:
One is age 3 living in Grogan's Rd, Wexford, Co.Wexford
the other is age 10 living in Cull, Killag, Co.Wexford
When Patrick married Mary Anne in 1925 both were of full age (over 21 yrs of age).
His wife Mary Anne was born in 1894 she was 31 years of age when she married Patrick.
I doubt very much the census in Grogan's Rd would be Patrick Rossiter. There are 26 matches for Patrick Rossiter in the 1911 census and 22 matches in 1901. Some of them can be ruled out. It is possible that Patrick could have been younger than his wife. There are two addresses listed for Patrick Rossiter at time of marriage Cloneranny and Castletown Inch, Co Wexford.
On Patrick's marriage cert his father Thomas Rossiter is listed as deceased.
Patrick and Mary Anne had 4 daughters Ann, Teresa, Caroline and Christina.
Can't seem to find a possible Naughter/Noctor family. Presume Mary Anne would have been at least 5-10 years old when the census was taken.
In relation to Patrick's wife, Mary Anne yes I have her in 1901 and 1911 census Mary Anne was from Tarahill, Gorey

I re-read my post, and meant to say 'presuming Patrick was a child' rather than Thomas. I did think you post was indicating that you wanted to find the family of Patrick.
Have you looked for the birth registrations for the three girls? Do you have details of Mary Anne's first marriage?
Katharine.

Hi Katharine
I do have details of Mary Anne's first marriage quite a lot
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,641444.0.html
As for the 4 daughters I have found them on familysearch but have not applied for birth certs, I do
know who they all married and have a little background to where they eventually move to, but I have to be very careful as some could still be alive. At the moment as I've stated its Patrick Rossiter I am trying to research. As I know who both parents of the 4 daughters are, the only thing I would prob get is addresses which was in Wexford. Like marriage certs, baptismal certs always give you info as to witnesses which sometimes can be relatives. But alas that is not possible at the moment.

Patrick and Mary Anne had 3 daughters not sure whether there were children from this marriage.
After reading your initial post it seemed you were not sure if the 3 (now 4 ???) daughters were actually children of both parents Patrick and Mary Anne. It seemed to me you were suggesting they could have been children from Mary Anne's first marriage.
Good luck with searching for Patrick, hopefully a clue will turn up.

Hi Katherine
So sorry. There were two little words left out of that paragraph.
Patrick and Mary Anne had 3 daughters not sure whether there were children from this marriage.
It should have read Patrick and Mary Anne had 3 daughters not sure whether there were any more children from this marriage.
And upon checking with relatives and checking with my file there was one other daughter.
Ann, Teresa, Caroline and Christina.
Many thanks for your replies

No problem. My best suggestion was the census - but you have already looked at that. Someone else may have a better idea. Katharine.

Hello , I am a Grandson of Patrick Rossiter and Mary Anne Byrne and myself and my cousin who spotted some web hits on our Grandparents would be happy to help on any research. My mom Theresa moved to England in 1948/49 followed by her sisters Christine and Caroline , Anne stayed in Eire - sadly mom passed away last week which is why we were doing our own bit of research on our ancestry for the Eulogy ......so if you want any help please get in touch. One thing that you appear to have missed in your searches is that as well as the 4 girls Patrick and Mary also had a son , also called Thomas , he died when the girls were all young probably in the 1late 1930's early 1940's .......It would be great to hear from you - thanks

Is it just Patrick Rossiter you are tracing back from ? This is just a simple post to get my posts up to 3 as I believe I can then sent direct messages ....thanks Eamon62

Hi Eamon
I have just seen your posts and I am currently at work. My sincere condolences to you and your family. I will pm you this evening when I finish work.
Yes I am very much interested in Patrick Rossiter, but I expect I have a lot of info to share with you and I am sure that you will know or have heard of my mother, her sister and brother who are all alive and living in Dublin .
Kind Regards
Genseacher

Hello there, thanks for those thoughts and thanks for the reply. I did spot the name on the Coat of Arms on your post and I did wonder if you were a generic researcher or hopefully we had come across a 2nd cousin. Yes I am aware of your folks in Dublin , I called your Aunt last week to give her the news - just to let her know and I asked her to let your mom and your uncle know the news. I may have met your folks back in 1969 when we visited Dublin as a family (I was 7) and we still have the photographs taken by your uncle on that trip. I last saw your Aunt back in 1992.... but left such a good impression she had forgotten that particular visit ! Anyways it is lovely to make the connection and my sister is starting to document our family tree so it would be nice to keep in touch. Best wishes Eamon.

Hi. Do you have anymore information on Patrick and Thomas Rossiter, perhaps the names of any siblings so I can try and identify them on the records I have ? I have been researching the Rossiters for over 30 years and have lots of records. I too have Rossiter, Whelan and Byrne in my family tree!
-
Hi Kath
No I do not have any more information on Patrick Rossiter or his father Thomas Rossiter except for what I have posted here.
Where you Whelan's are from mine from Carlow and some of them moved to Dublin.

Hello, Me and my children are the last descendants of the Rossiter family, (we are the last to carry the name) that i am aware of?
I am very knowledgeable of my past family but to which Rossiter family you are researching is key?
I do have a Patrick Rossiter in my family, (he was my uncle) but his father (my grandfather) was called Anthony Rossiter, i do know that my uncle was named after another Patrick in the line.
I hope this helps, if you want more information please feel free to reply!

Hi Gensearcher, there are two books that may be of interest to you;
1) "Tara Hill" - St Kevins Centenary Celebrations 1987. I had a quick look in this and there are some naughter graves listed in Kilcavan Cemetery (Kilcavan cemetery is on the side of Tara Hill) and 2)another book called "Croghan to the Sea" - a local history of castletown, coolgreany and the surrounding areas. I had a quick look in this too but rossiters did not jump out at me but may be of interest to you as it is the local area. regards gerard
