ROSSITER/WALDRON

[bridgy]

Hello from Australia
I am looking for Bartholomew ROSSITER who married Elizabeth WALDRON, no date, but I believe in Kildare.  They and their 5 children came to Aust in 1840. 
The info I have is
Bartholomew ROSSITER b. 1796 (Wellbank??) died 1845 in Sydney, Aust (have cert so can verify this)
Mary Ann ROSSITER b. 1821 (Kilcullen??) died 1903 in Glebe, Sydney. married 1853 William Robson.
Elizabeth ROSSITER b. 1823 (Kilcullen ??) died 1919 in Sydney, married 1. John GRIMES in 1852 and 2. Henry PRESCOT(T) in 1862.
Catherine ROSSITER b. Ireland,  married John FLAVELLE in 1847 in Sydney.
Gertrude ROSSITER, b. Ireland married Samuel BRUSH in 1847 in Sydney.
John ROSSITER (my direct line) b. 1825 (Killcullen??), died 1879 married Mary Ann RAYNER in 1851.  Have both marriage and death certs for John that confirm his fathers name was Bartholomew.
Now Bart is my brick wall, big time.  Have evidence of him in Oz but can't find him in Co Kildare.  If some one could help I would really appreciate it.  Have had a lot of help with other posts and am coming to believe that this forum is the only one to use.
Thank you and blessing from Oz.

Hi Jan,

I am researching the Rossiter family generally and have bits and pieces about Bartholomew but nothing pre-1796.

Information about Irish families is hard to come by and probably your best source would be Ancestry.com.

Mind you, you have been busy as I've found your requests all over the net!! LOL!!

I have been searching the net too and came up with a couple of links you may find of interest:-

This seems to suggest that Bartholomew had a son born 1831 and that Bartholomew the father was a botanist.

Don't suppose any of these websites are yours by any chance?

Best wishes

Hello there
I was hoping you'd see my post on here.  Where do the Rossiters feature in your family?  My mother was a Rossiter and I can prove back to Bart as I said. 
I have Barts son John born in 1825 (this info from Merv Rossiter) however Bart has been classed as a gardener so botanist is not far off.  Also believe that he came to Aust with the Australian Agricultural Company as a bounty passenger (1840) which would fit in as that company was hiring farmers/miners/gardeners at that time for the State government. Is it possible for you to let me have the info on Bart you have and in exchange I will let you know what I have on all my Rossiters if you are interested.  It may be better if we contact direct.  My email is Email removed to prevent spamming - please use the PM system to exchange such information.  Thanks!  Are you in Australia? 
Am I impressed with this forum!!  Have posted 3 times and each time have received some of the info I've been chasing for a long time.
Have a tree trial with ancestry.com at present but have not found it as good as it should be.  You guys on here have given me more.
Can't wait to hear back from you.
Regards

Me again
Forgot to add.  Have investigated the Turnball site and contacted the administrator.  He did not know who put the Bart ROSSITER info on there and I don't think it is right.  Could be wrong.  If I remember rightly, that's where John is listed as born in 1831.
Am also aware of the other site - Flavelle - and am in contact with some of them.  Barts daughter Catherine married John Flavelle in Sydney.  If you haven't already done so, check out the NSW BDM.  It's the only state in Aust who gives access to BDM and I've picked up so much from there. 
Speak to you soon.
Regards
Jan

Hi Tammy
I don't know if I replied to your post or not.  So sorry for being rude.  Moved house in the previous 12 months and Family History got put way, way back on the back burner.  If you're still interested in Bartholomew please let me know.
Regards
