[rcuser]

Hi,

I am doing a one name study of the Rossiter family and am looking for information please about the parents, grandparents, siblings and children of John Paul Rossiter born circa 1839 in Bristol.

I found him in the 1881 Census with his wife Mary Here:-
http://www.familysearch.org/ENG/search/census/household_record.asp?HOUSEHOLD_CODE=1881BR_5464667&HOUSEHOLD_SUB=1&frompage=5

Any information would be greatly appreciated please. TIA.

Best wishes

Hi Woody,

Thanks for that.

TBH, at this stage of my enquiries ( I've just started!!) I am not ruling anything in or out because I simply do not know what is relevant. The birth record is certainly possible as I believe Clifton

I am basically gathering the pieces and trying to put them together in a picture that makes sense.

I tried to find a marriage for John and Mary but could not come up with anything.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Best wishes

Hi Dolly/ Mum44

Thank you for the posts.

Had the family posted by Dolly partially in my database i.e. parents plus first two children.

Given the ages of the children I am assuming the 1851 Census ages of parents i.e. born circa 1811.

Mum44, is Eliza a family member please? Jane looks like John's mother.

Dunno, RC  -  no relationships on the 1841       All I can say is - she was there in the household 


ADDED  :

25 in 1841  and 40 in 1851 works  -  ages rounded down in 1841 (mostly !) so could have been 30

Hi Mum44,

Thanks for that.

Just found this on another website.
http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=adesheppard&id=I650&ti=5538

The age for John is off but the information on the wife & children seems to match.

What do you think?

Best wishes
