Hi,
This is a bit of a long shot.
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 Elizabeth Rossiter ( NEE Roberts).
She married John Rossiter on September 4th 1831 at St John Baptists Church in Bristol.
She later married Joseph Weeks on March 9th 1844 at St Augustine's the Less Church in Bristol.
Joseph Weeks was born circa 1808 in Bristol.
I am hoping that using Joseph's birth information someone will be able to find Elizabeth's birth information in the 1851 census and use that to get the date and place of birth for John Rossiter in the 1841 Census please.
Any information would be greatly appreciated please. TIA.
Best wishes

Hi,
I have looked at the 1851, 1861 and 1871 census for Joseph and Elizabeth and on every one it states they were both born in the Stapleton area of Bristol.
The year of birth varies though.
Joseph 1807, 1806 and 1803
Elizabeth 1817, 1817 and 1815
There were 7 children listed all born Stapleton.
Hope this helps.
Elizabeth

Hi/Bonjour Liz in France,
Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to look that up for me.
Can you post the census details for the children please? Hopefully, I might be able to use them to get more informnation about Joseph, Elizabeth and hopefully John Rossiter.
With luck, John Rossiter and Elizabeth will be in the 1841 Census and I my be able to get sufficient details to link him to his family.
Thanks again for your help.
Best wishes

Hi rcuser.
I have looked again for John Rossiter and Elizabeth in 1841 and nothing comes up that looks to be a possibility.
Are you sure that Elizabeth Rossiter that married Joseph Weeks is the same Elizabeth Lobb Roberts that married John Rossiter. On her 2nd marriage, the Lobb part of her name is not mentioned.
From her middle name, it could be that her mother's maiden name was Lobb, although it won't help to find John Rossiter's roots.
Don't think I can help any more but if I think of something else, I will contact you again.
Regards,
Elizabeth

Hi again,
Last little bit I can find.
Possible BMD entries.
Births
Henry James Rositer 3/1839 Bedminster vol 11 page 63
Mary Ann Rossiter 2/1841 Clifton vol 11 page 273
Death
John Cummins Rossiter 2/1838 Bristol vol 11 page 132
I cannot find either of the two children in 1841 either. If the above birth entry is correct then Mary Ann was only just born at the time of the census and so maybe her mother was elsewhere other than Bristol.
As both the children were born after the death of John Cummins Rossiter, he no longer seems the likely husband.
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,
Many thanks for that and apologies for the delay in replying.
I found a marriage for Joseph to Hannah Tily on the IGI:-
25 DEC 1828 Fishponds,Stapleton, Bristol, Gloucester, England
Also found 1 child, Jane born December 6th 1829 in Stapleton but considering Hannah was alive in 1841 I am a little surprised that there were not other children.
I found a death for a Hannah Tiley in the December Qtr of 1843 at Clifton, which could be Joseph's wife and fits with the circumstances.
With regard to Elizabeth Lobb Roberts, it's possible that she may have been married previously or that her parents incorporated her mother's maiden name as a Christian name which has been seen in other Rossiter families. Unfortunately, I can't prove either of these hypotheses at the moment.
Hope this helps.
best wishes

Hi Rcuser,
I have checked through for all combinations of Weeks, Roberts, Lobb and Tyley and derivations and checked all the Stapleton records and have only come up with the baptism of Joseph Weeks which was 20 April 1806 at Stapleton. I assume it is Holy Trinity Church, son of James and Mary (not May as in the 1841 census).
I could only find the baptism for Jane on 6 Dec. 1829 and nothing for Mary Ann and Joseph (aged 7 on 1841 census).
There were plenty of Weeks and Tyley etc but nothing that matched.
You say you have found a death for Hannah in 1843. I couldn't find that, not under Tyley or Weeks as it should have been but there were two for Weeks, one 2/1840 Bristol (which was too early as she was on 1841 census) and the other for Dec qtr 1844 Thornbury which was after Joseph's second marriage.
After another look, I found the following.
There was a baptism for a Mary Ann with parents Joseph and Elizabeth Weeks 1.May1836 Almondsbury and another for Joseph 25 May 1834 parents Joseph and Hannah WICKS which would fit in very well with the 1841 Census. Names were written down incorrectly quite a lot and if the writer misheard he could easily have written Wicks instead of Weeks.
That really is as far as I can go now.
Best of luck,
Elizabeth
