Henry Wedge ROSSITER in Tasmania

[Philcandy]

Fellow chatters

I am looking for information about Henry Wedge ROSSITER (born in Victoria in 1866), and his son H W R (junior).

According to the Australian Electoral Rolls, he appeared in Denison, Tasmania in 1919 and 1928, and in 1936 his son, Henry Wedge ROSSITER appeared in Franklin Tasmania.

Can anyone help me with entries of birth, death or marriage of this family? And, since Henry Wedge ROSSITER's parent were Thomas James ROSSITER and Mary Ann O'SHEA, are there other members of this same family in Tasmania at the same time?

Any pointers would be very welcome; the family seems to have disappeared out of Victoria some time after 1860; did they migrate to Tasmania in the nineteenth century?

Kind regards

Phil

This is wonderful Cando. Clearly this is what happened to one of Thomas and Mary's children.

And here's another one: Herbert Simon ROSSITER (born about 1864) who also appears in Denison Tasmania in the Electoral Rolls.  Is there any birth, death or marriage record for him?

Kind regards and and thanks

Sorry, nothing.  Deaths only extend to 1930.

Phil,  can I  ask  where you  found  the  names  of  these children, Henry Wedge and Herbert as I  thought we could only  find one child  or perhap I  am confused?

Hi Jenn

I was looking around on the web, and found a site that lists a number of additional children for Thomas James ROSSITER and Mary Jane O'SHEA.

I think there are a few mistakes on the site, including some marriages that I think apply to other people, but the family names are so strong that I'm inclined to think this information is basically right: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=symonds&id=P2801115867

What I'm trying to do now is to confirm these dates and names by looking at other sources, and it looks to me as if some of them moved to Tasmania and at least one went to England.

Any insights would, as always, be most welcome.

Thank you --- Phil

A Thomas Rossiter did marry Ellen Daglish in 1864 reg no 3084
and had a number of  children  with  her but on  all  the births it does just day Thomas Rossiter not Thomas James.

I do feel  that this information  may be clouded on  this website though
