Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: (Gloucestershire) 1861/1871 Census lookup Requests Please For Charles Rossiter

Hi rcuser

Just a thought I had: If the Aaron Rossiter in the Canadian census is the same as the Aaron Rossiter who married in All Saints Bristol in 1828, it seems odd that he and his family were Quakers, since Quakers did not recognise the Anglican Church, and conversion to Quakerism is, I believe, very rare.  Having said that, the birth of Canadian census Aaron does not appear in the Quaker registers, so it looks as though his family were not Quakers, and maybe he did convert. I would welcome your thoughts on this.

Hi rcuser

No, I'm not planning to go beyond the direct line from Enid backwards.

Hi rcuser

Thank you very much for all of that. It's very helpful.

Kate was born on 12 August 1877 in Reading, Berkshire, daughter of William Lambourn, a biscuit factory labourer, and Harriett (formerly Gilby).  I havn't looked into Doris yet, but will let you know when I have.

All the best

Hi rcuser

Many thanks for your reply.

I am researching ancestors of Aaron Rossiter's 3xgreat granddaughter Enid Rossiter. The line from her to him is:

Her father Edward Ernest Nangrave Rossiter, born 1908, Islington, London; married Doris Fricker.

His father, Edward Nangrave Rossiter, born Hoxton, London; married Kate Lambourn 1907, Hoxton, London

His father, Edward Nangrave Rossiter, born 1854, Clerkenwell, London; married Maria Louisa Tillett/Tillott, 1874, St Luke's, London

His father, and Aaron's son, Henry William Rossiter, baptised 1830, St Philip & St Jacob, Bristol; married Eleanor Adelaide Kent, 1851, Bow, London City

They all appear to have worked in brushmaking in various capacities. Relevant census entries are:

1901: RG13/276/55/7
1891: no trace
1881: RG11/397/13/20-21
1871: no trace
1861: RG9/197/89/42
1851: HO107/1520/91/13
1841: JO107/377/15/46

I am fascinated about Aaron's marriages and that he emigrated. It would be good to know your sources for this. I have no idea, at this point, where the middle 'Nangrave' came from. It seems to have appeared first with Aaron's grandson, and doesn't seem to be linked to a marriage.

Best wishes

I have just seen your August posting about the Rossiter name. I am researching a branch of the family that has led me back to a Henry Rossiter, born in St Philip & St Jacob's, Bristol, son of Aaron and Eliza. They were brushmakers, and it seems very likely that Aaron and your Charles (brushmaker, born around 1816, St Philip and st James) had a common ancestor. I havn't, so far, been able to get back any earlier. if the descendents of Henry are of any interest to you, please let me know.
