I have been researching my family of ROOSE from the Liskeard area for several years, but have hit a wall at John ROOSE & Dorothy MOONE marriage 18 June 1695. I cannot find their baptisms or parents. My only information is their children. Philip baptised 6 March 1695, the year following their marriage. John baptised 1698 and Cornelius baptised 23 Sep 1702. Their offspring moved via St Keyne, Duloe to Polperro where they stayed for over 200 years.
If the naming pattern is correct; Philip would be named after his paternal grandfather, John after his father, but Cornelius could be a brother to his father or his maternal grandfather(?). I think there could be a link with the Rous from Halton quay, but cannot find it. Any help or suggestions please?

I have had a look for marriages in Liskeard for Phillippa, but cannot find one.

Phillippa Lizzie Toms marry in 1908, Liskeard District, Vol5c, page 133, 2/4qtr. On the same page is Thomas John W Mitchell and Alfred Roose. either could be here husband. the only way to find out is to get the marriage certificate. I would think that this Philippa is you lady. You need to work backwards with the definite knowledge that you have, such as obtaining BMD certificates, from yourself, parents, grandparents,etc.

I have a Alfred Roose born 1887 in my tree. I don't know if he got married, but he died in Australia in 1923, and probate was granted to his sister in England.

If you have searched the OPC site you would have found

Phillippa ROOSE married Edward J GEORGE 1925, Fylde District, Lancashire, 1/4qtr, Vol8e, Page 983. Could she have married under her married name, not maiden name. you need to get the certificate again.

Hope this is of some help to you.

if you go onto the OPC web site and find the OPC for Looe/Talland (Sue Dent)and e-mail her she should be able to help you. Anything after 1911 will not be on that web site.
