Could Roose be Rose? 

[Suffolk Mawther]

Or could it be Rous?

And could Badington be Badingham, or Bedingfield?

There are several monuments to the Rous family in Badingham church of St John.

Pat ...

Thanks to Annes for bumping this one

Thank you both for helpful comments

Yes Roose could be Rose
But in my tree there are only 2 Rose Free and the name Rose only starts to be used after 1850.

Both Roose and Rous are liberally sprinkled in my tree - usually by marriage and dozens of each.
They seem to chop and change spelling randomly.
I suppose when all was done phonetically this is not surprising

Earlier than 1718, when Mary Rous was born to John + Mary in Westleton, Suffolk my knowledge is very vague.
She had 3 brothers
John b 1719
John b 1725
Thomas b 1727
The last 2 married and I have their descendants.
Mary herself died in 1721 and he name was given to a sister, Mary, born later that same year.


So if indeed there is any connection to ancestors
Edmund of Badingham b 23 July 1551 and my Roose Free (chr 17 Aug 1561 at Dallinghoo Dau of John Free + Joan Birle) I have no ideas how to begin to bridge the gap.

Yes it is almost certainly Badingham ( not ton).
Do you know anyone who might kindly look at the gravestones at St John's there for me?

Many thanks



PS
More info on Joan Birle who married John Free:
According to IGI M062931 this was on 8 Oct 1560 at Dallinghoo.
My Roose was not the only child. She had 2 brothers:
John Free chr 30 July 1569 Dallinghoo
William Free chr 8 July 1572 Dallinghoo
both of whose marriages and children are known
My Roose had also 3 sisters (Rebeccah, Brigett, Marye)

My studies of John Free, father of my Roose Free who married Joan Birle, show that he had 2 brothers and a sister:

Richard b abt 1538
(Who married Ann Gioldersleeve 18 Jan 1558 at St Matthew Ipswich and had dau Margaret who married Jhon Hacon on 2 Feb 1583 at Hacheson, Suffolk)

William b abt 1527
(Who married  Pyke on 1 Sep 1549 at St Mary Woodridge)

Agnes b abt 1540
(Who married Robert Edmunds in 1561 at Leiston)

John Pope has transcibed Badingham church yard, however, I think your dates may be rather early for readable MIs to be found. 
There may be memorial plaques inside the church?

Thanks Pat - amazig sites but no Rous(e) yet!

Maybe I should issue a general search appeal for Rouses

If anyone wants mine, I can offer about 200

[esdel]

I founnd a GREAT site that has a by surname index of all the gravestone inscriptions within UK it has coppied (Yes, thousands of them)
Then I hit the wrong button and a "Speed test" was begun and unstoppable!
So I lost not only the site but all means to find it again!

Any ideas, please?

[Suffolk Sue B]

The site you're looking for wouldn't be Charles Sale's www.gravestones would it? Esdel I hope you're the person I've searched the web for - you're very keen on the Benhall Rous family and especially interested in the double marriage there in 1809 and Betsy Rudd?
I've been researching this family for 20 years, I have quite a bit of information and a few ideas - love to hear from you

[esdel]

BINGO, Suffolk Sue B.
Of one post - yet familiar!!!
Humm.......
Yes Charlie Sales - that is he! I remember now (now you told me!).

And well anyway, would you be talkin' of
Rouse Lettie or Thomas or Mary?
Or Rouse Ann who signs Anne
Or Rouse Thomas
Or John Howard, hubby of above Mary
Or Louisa Unknown, wife of Henry Blowers who is related to all my ancestors but not by blood to me!

Betsy Rudd ..... Humm.... makes you think... let me see now, the Wink comes to mind!........
Ah yes, Betsy Rouse (dau of John Rouse and Diana Wink) married a John Rudd on 23 March 1833 at Dunwich thus became your Betsy Rudd.

But so many other Rouseseses
I dunno where to start!

Looking for a marriage in 1809.....
     Diana Rouse+ William Hurren
abt then

     Hannah Rous + William Free
10 Dec 1812 Holy Trinity Middleton

     John Wink Rouse + Martha
about then

     John Rouse + Mary Noy
11 jan 1813 Theberton

     The Rouses of Wigfield had several children who could have married in 1809

AH - got it
