I have recently come across a surname in my partner's tree that stumped me completely, according to FreeBMD the name no longer existed after 1880.
Can anyone help??
Thomas OSSOP marr Ann Welby in 1798, they had only 1 child (I can find) in 1799 Mary Ann OSSOP and Thomas was in the 13th Light Dragoons from 1800-1816 and fought in the Battle of Waterloo.
After 1816 I cannot find him, cannot find any more children, or his parents. I also would like to know the meaning behind the name OSSOP but cant find that either.
The last known OSSOP was Lenton OSSOP died 1880 aged 83, was this Mary Ann's brother?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
