Hey everyone,

I think I just found William & Dianah's first-born son John!!!

According to this death record I found on Familysearch, there was a John Roser buried in East Grinstead, Sussex, on the 18th of August 1841, which may be our John!

He was listed on the 1841 UK Census in East Grinstead, alive and well at age 12, but he never arrived in Australia with the rest of the family....perhaps this explains it?

What do you guys think?

P.S. I've ordered a death certificate from the UK, should get dispatched to me 25th Feb, so I should have my hands on it by early March.... :-)

Hi Tanya,

The Sunday sounds fine, I usually take off from Perth to head home about 7:30, which means I'll be at yours by about 8:30.....would you like to send me a pm with your address and phone number and we can organise it over the phone?

Hi Tanya,

Yep, plan at the moment is coming up Thursday 17th Feb, home on the Sunday.

Got a bit to do, have to go to Karrakatta Cemetery, State Library and out to Como to see my great-uncle, but I can fit in a time to see you. What day is good for you?

Hi Tanya,

I guess by the time they were released from quarantine, it times out about right to what was printed in the Dictionary of West Australians Vol. 1. The more I look at it, the more I think that this Welcome Wall listing (http://welcomewalls.museum.wa.gov.au/search_viewlisting.asp?PID=12292&PN=1&SearchKey=roser&SearchType=1) is correct, but there's still that inkling in the back of my mind as to whether they were gypsies or not..... :-S

As for Mary and Elizabeth, Jan James states in her book 'In Search of Elizabeth' that Elizabeth was perhaps taken by natives (although Jan has now found that Elizabeth did live and go on to marry and die in the eastern states), and that Mary Ann died in 1843 of severe burns.

I have to agree with you on the departure location, I always thought the Simon Taylor did sail from Gravesend, however my great-great-great grandmother Lucy Roser's future husband, John Charles Playle, was onboard the same ship, and he was born in Essex, so it kind of makes sense that they would meet in London to board the Simon Taylor.

Tanya,

I really don't know which listing is correct, my gut tells me the arrival on the 20 August 1842 is, as the Dictionary of West Australians lists them as arriving Oct 1842....

Is it possible to obtain William's marriage certificate? Ukbmd.co.uk only has records from 1837 onwards.

My grand-uncle maintains that the Rosers were itinerant workers/farmers, and has been researching for about 30+yrs, never finding any connection to Gypsies, so I'm not sure what to believe!!!

I'm looking at coming to Perth around mid-Feb, staying with my sister in Ballajura, should be easy to get to High Wycombe from there.

Ok, I'm a little confused....

Had another look at the Rosers arrival in Fremantle on the Welcome Walls website...but there's 2 separate listings with key differences....

Links are as follows:

1. http://welcomewalls.museum.wa.gov.au/search_viewlisting.asp?PID=12292&PN=1&SearchKey=roser&SearchType=1

2. http://welcomewalls.museum.wa.gov.au/search_viewlisting.asp?PID=16713&PN=1&SearchKey=roser&SearchType=1


Which one is correct???

Hi Tanya,

After searching for William & Dianah Roser on the Welcome Walls website, I think you guys are right, as it states that their usual occupation in England was Romany Gypsy! I think my great-uncle will be shocked to see the proof, as he's always maintained they were not Gypsies!!!

I'd love to catch up Tanya, and compare notes, although your notes will be significantly greater than mine! I'm going up to Perth in the next month or so to see my great uncle, as he has a lot of family photos and death certificates he won't send down in the post for me (sigh), so maybe we can catch up when I'm up there.

In regards to Williams parents, I was trolling through Familysearch.org the other day and came across a birth record for a William Roser, born 22 Feb 1802, to a Thomas & Sarah Roser in Appeldore, Kent....am I on the right track???
