Richard Watts & Sarah Rosier

[Jules1]

Now I'm really confused.

The William & Ann that I now thought were the correct parents of Sarah Rosier born 1781 - and the Will that you mention - his wife was Ann and they did have a son Henry.

I noticed Pheobe and Job as their children together with an Ann, Jane, Elizabeth, William.

Children I found of William Rosier and Ann nee Cross all at Ramsbury.
Henry 1780 
Sarah 1781
Anne 1783
Jane 1784  died 1784
Elizabeth 1786
William 1787
John 1790
Phebe 1792
Job 1796

I went back one more generation on the Rosier family, I think Robert  married Sarah and William married Ann are brothers.
-----------------
Robert Rosier married Elizabeth Lay 16 December 1756 at Ramsbury
William bap 12 June 1757
Robert bap 1 July 1759
Elizabeth bap 15 February 1761
Phillip bap 9 January 1763  -- buried 19 January 1763
Phillip bap 15 January 1764  -- buried 28 September 1764
Hester bap 5 May 1765  -- buried 23 June 1765 as Esther
Mary bap 6 July 1766
John bap 14 May 1769 (twin)
Jane bap 14 May 1769   (twin)
George bap 16 February 1772
Joseph bap 10 April 1774   buried 22 March 1795

Elizabeth wife of Robert was buried 20 July 1795
Possible for Robert  buried 3 December 1802 Sexton at Ramsbury.

It's probable that William being his eldest son took over the job of Sexton to the Church.

Sarah 1781 who married William Alexander 1813 would have been about 32 at the time.
Witness is sister Phebe.

But in 1851, Sarah Alexander nee Rosier is b abt 1789 see reply #3
Maybe she asked her cousin Phebe to be witness

[amondg]

Possible I'm sure.

Thanks everyone

I think I have it correct now, thanks to all of your help.

My Sarah (born 1781) married Richard Watts.  Sarah's parents were William & Ann.

The other Sarah (1789) married William Alexander.  Sarah's parents were Robert & Sarah.

William & Robert were brothers - their parents Robert Rosier senior married Elizabeth Lay.

The original Sarah that I had is the cousin of my Sarah.  Her father is the uncle of my Sarah.

So all in all, I had the correct family but had the parents mixed up.

I couldn't have cracked this without your help, much appreciated as I'd been stuck for ages.

All the best
