Many thanks for this information, especially for the actual date and place of Charles and Ellen's marriage.

I am intrigued by the information about Thomas James ROSSITER.  As far as I can tell, Thomas James ROSSITER was born on  16 May 1856 at Cranbourne in Victoria to (another) Thomas James ROSSITER and his wife Mary-Anne Josephine O'Shea.  It was the father who died at Molong in 1907 aged 76 (the NSW Index of deaths gives the parents' names as Benjamin and Zillah, which fits with what I know already.)

What I haven't been able to locate is when and where Thomas James (junior) died.  His wife Cecilia Mary (nee BOLAND) seems to have died at Liverpool in NSW in 1958, but I can't find any reference to Thomas's death.

Please let me know if you can add anything more about this family.

Kind regards and thanks again.

Sorry Phil I should have made that clear:-

Thomas James Rossiter (son of Benjamin 1786-1858 and Zillah 1789-1871), who was the father of Thomas Jnr, died on the 30th of December (year not legible) at his residence, Edward Street, Molong, New South Wales, aged 76 years.

Also Mary Anne Josephine Rossiter (nee O'Shea - sister to Ellen Teressa and David O'Shea) died previously to her husband at 58 years on the 27th of August (year not legible) at her residence"Spring Grove".

Ellen Teressa, Mary Anne Josephine and David's father was John O'Shea and their mother was Mary Rhine.

That all I can tell you as I am descended from Charles' line not Thomas.

Thank you so much for this, Gayle. It fills in quite a few gaps and provides additional names and dates that I would have been unlikely to find otherwise.

I'm really grateful to you for sharing this family information, and for taking the time and trouble to type it all out.

Kind regards

Phil

Thanks to those who posted here.
I've been looking for Rossiter info. to fill in some gaps, particularly Edwin Augustus family history.
His wife Ellen Louisa Craig was elder sister to a great Grandmother of mine Caroline Jane Craig.
I understand that after Ellen's death apparently the 6 girls went to live with other Rossiter family.
Although know of their marriages, only knew youngest daughter Ada's family in a little more detail.
