This reseacher has  the said KAthleen Baynton Rossiter  marrying and dying details  however there is no death in  NSW at Molong or anywhere else that matches.  Incidently  that is  the same year and place  that Thomas JAmes Rossiter DOES indeed die.!!!


Is anyone able to confirm if she is definitely the daughter of Thomas James Rossiter and Mary Ann Josephine O'Shea? There is no evidence of her birth to Thomas James and Mary Ann that I can find. Also there is a 10 year difference between Henry being born in 1866 and Katherine in 1876 - does that seem strange? Also Thomas's obituary states 4 sons, 3 daughters to mourn his loss - as all the others were living and Katherine was still living then it should read 4 sons and 4 daughters. As stated earlier a Katherine Baynton Rossiter married David C.E. Allen in 1921 and she died in 1962 in Chatswood, New South Wales, Australia (NSW BDM Reg. no. 5132/1965. Katherine Baynton Allen, d/o of Thomas and Mary). Is this the evidence that she is their daughter?

SORRY JUST ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION:-

Source: The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday 16 June 1934 DEATHS. ROSSITER.- June 15, 1934, at the residence of her sister, Mrs D.C.E. Allen, 46 McIntyre-street, Gordon, Fannie Anne, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Rossiter, of Cunnamulla, Queensland.

However confirmation of the birth date for Katherine would be great to have.
