Hi Heywood,

My mistake in the orignal post, she was born 1822, your correct, I'll need to try update that.

Robert Roscoe Senior was a ship carpenter according to the cert.

Thanks

Hi Radcliff,

Yea, done the bmd search, brings back a good few matches for Elizabeth and Robert but little for Helen. I'm trying to find a pattern before speculating with birth certificates from the gro. Cost implications are holding me back but it may be an option as a last resort.

Thanks, Grant

Hi Allan,

In 1861 the family is at 10 Court 6 Nash Grove, Liverpool. Susannah is listed as a dressmaker.

Hi All,

Bit of a speculative post this one, but I’ve had some luck with these forums in the past so I’m putting this enquiry into the wild to see what happens.

I have a group of Roscoes who are being particularly troublesome when it comes to revealing their secrets. Here’s what I know.

1861 Census Confirms

Mother
Susannah Roscoe nee (Unknown) born abt. 1822, married (Date Unknown), (Supposedly born in Liverpool, no birth cert found, no parish record found, disappears after this census)

Children
Elizabeth Roscoe born 1852 (Supposedly in Liverpool, no birth cert found, no parish record found, disappears after this census)
Helen Roscoe born 1860 (Supposedly in Liverpool, no birth cert found, no parish record found, disappears after this census)
Robert Roscoe (jnr) (My direct ancestor and the one I know most about, more later)

Father
Robert Roscoe (snr) born (Unknown) Married (Date Unknown) Died (Unknown) not on the census, but does show on Roberts Marriage Certificate.

Robert Roscoe (jnr)
Born 1854 (Supposedly in Liverpool, no birth cert found)
Married 30th Nov 1875 (St Anne Sandon, Cork, Ireland)
Residence 1875 The Barracks, Cork
Occupation: Soldier
Residence 1881 Toxteth Park, Liverpool
Multiple children and grandchildren all the way down to me.

My Questions to the Community
Can you help fill in the unknowns in the above?
Do you have any connections to the two female children?

Possible Scenario #1, the whole family moved to Ireland after 1861 which is why I can’t find them.
Possible Scenario #2, the surname on the census is not the original, is not correct etc.

Rumour #1, at some point in the family history the surname changed from Pininski (or the appropriate correct spelling) this has been handed down the generations and may be the key to cracking the mystery of the unknowns.

Rumour #2, the roscoe line were rather wealthy at one point in time, the fortune is gone lost after the records were destroyed in the war. I’d like to be able to put this one to rest. I’m told my great grandparents once travelled to London to find out more, but were unsuccessful.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and if you can help or have any suggestions let me know.

Thanks,

Grant

Regrettably, photos are thin on the ground at the moment, I do have some certificates and headstone photos I’ll send over along with one of my grandmother.

I think the information I’m most interested in is that relating to the families time on the channel islands as it’s the hardest for me to research, and unique in that they were on the islands for a time.

The descendants I’m aware of for Thomas James Sills Tite are as follows;
Mary Anne Tite (1860 - ?)
Thomas James Baxter Tite (1865 - ?)
   m. Maria C Pallot (1868 - ?)
   Childern
   Winter John Samuel Tite (1887 - ?)
Thomas James Sills Tite (1887 - ?)
Samuel Tite (1890 - ?)
Ernest Sydney Tite (1892 – 1938)
Frederick William Tite (1893 – 1953)
Lydia Ann Elizabeth Tite (1894 - ?)
Harold Tite (1898 - ?)
Edward Albert Tite (1902 - ?)
Samuel John Tite (1867 – 1940) See Previous
Elizabeth Sarah Tite
   m. Helier Alfred Gallichan (1868 - ?)
   Children

Hi Ellenc,

Thankyou for the information you've provided, it's broken through a long standing wall in my research. Samuel is my 2nd Great Grandfather on my farthers mothers side. Samuels son William Thomas Sills Tite is my Great Grandfather and his daughter Hilda Tite is my Grandmother. Would be happy to share the info I have. What would you most be interested in?

Cork / Re: Tracton Abbey Parish Registers - Roscoe - COMPLETED
« on: Friday 02 October 09 18:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

This search is now complete. I now have the certificate from the records office in Roscommon showing the parents of Robert and Annie as Robert and John. As well as other important info of course. Turns out they were married at St Anne Shandon in the city of cork, so sorry for the erroneous request. Thanks to Frank for searching and the info about the sons. John is the first son as far as I know, there may have been another before him that died before the family returned to England, but I do not know.

Thanks again.

Hi All,

Thank you to those who sent messages with info as I may now be on the verge of solving a long standing mystery in my tree.

It would appear that familysearch.org don’t have all their records on their main search facility. It’s been pointed out to me that under the records search pilot there are more records available. The most important to me being the Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes for 1845-1958. In these records I have a Robert Roscoe and an Annie Dineen in the same volume on the same page in 1875.

I’ve sent me fax to the records office in Roscommon, paid me money and with a bit of luck a marriage certificate with lots of information will be winging its way to me shortly.

Thanks
