Dear Cando and others who have helped.

I came across another website which lists the following children for Thomas James ROSSITER and Mary O'SHEA:

   i. Frances Ann Rossiter was born 10 Aug 1855 in Victoria, and died 15 Jun 1934 in Gordon, NSW. [This does seem to be registered under the name Fanny A ROSSITER]
   ii. Blanche Mary Rossiter was born 1858 in Clyde, Victoria, and died 1898 in Moonee Ponds, Victoria, Australia.
   iii. Thomas James Rossiter was born 16 May 1858 in Clyde, Victoria, and died in Victoria.
   iv. Zillah Rossiter was born Aug 1860 in Clyde, Victoria, and died 1919 in Victoria.
   v. William Buckley Rossiter was born 2 Oct 1862 in Ravenhurst, Cranbourne, Victoria, Australia, and died after 1901 in Wales, England.
   vi. Herbert Simon Rossiter was born 13 Dec 1864 in Ravenhurst, Cranbourne, Victoria, Australia, and died 22 Sep 1941 in Tasmania, Australia.
   vii. Henry Wedge Rossiter was born 28 Dec 1866 in Victoria, and died in Victoria.
   viii. Katherine Baynton Rossiter was born 3 Feb 1876 in Victoria, and died 31 Dec 1907 in Molong, Victoria. She married David Allen. [Note: Molong isn't in Victoria, this is at least partly wrong]

(see:   http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=symonds&id=P2809573396)

According to that researcher, Blanche Mary ROSSITER married James Melville Symonds in 1886; Thomas James ROSSITER married Celia Mary Boland; William Buckley ROSSITER married Elizabeth ROSSITER from Somerset England and had children in the UK, although there doesn't seem to be any indication of the marriage in the freebmd records for England; and Katherine Baynton ROSSITER married David Allen.  In addition, I have found that Henry Wedge ROSSITER moved to Tasmania, where he had at least five children with his wife Hilda May (nee MARR), but I haven't found their marriage yet. [see: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,387761.0.html]

So can anyone add anything more, given this new information?

Kind regards and many thanks

As I  have pointed out to Phil on  the other thread  some of  this information is a bit off, I  cannot locate any of  these births in Victoria, you would have thought at least one of  them  might havebeen  registered,  that  is not to  say  it is incorrect  just strange. 

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.!!!

I apologise to 'chatters if this info has been given before.

As mentioned previously Phil some people chose not to register their children.  Wonder if the information came from a family bible.

Perhaps some certs and transcriptions are needed.

I really agree with your caution about this. I have written to the person who posted the family information asking if it came from family sources (such as a Bible or Birthday Book) but haven't heard back so far.

I have found deaths for Henry Wedge ROSSITER and Herbert Simon ROSSITER in Tasmania (1944 and 1941 respectively) but parents' names not mentioned.

Katherine Baynton ROSSITER married David ALLEN in Parramatta RD in 1921, so she was already about 55 at that time.

Kind regards

Wow

A shaft of light after all the gloom; how reassuring.

It's really interesting that this baptism is in December 1856 whereas the posted birthdate was in August 1855, so it looks as if the birthdates are based on a different source, such as a family Bible.

Many thanks

Phil
