If you search on www.familysearch.com then you should find a birth for Rosannah at Cradley for parents Benjamin and Ann.
The 1851 has a family at New Town,Dudley which look to fit very well
Benjamin Trowman,63,day labourer,Rowley,Worcs
Ann Trowman,63,Mushroom,Worcs
Ruth Trowman,dau,unm,26,straw bonnet maker,New Town,Worcs
Next door but one, and two, and three (!) are more Trowman families, possibly related. Two of them are Jew's harp makers, and all from Rowley. There is a good site called http://www.rowleyregis.com/
You can go to "Forums" and search for "harp" which brings up some links
If you read either Family history/Tromans or better still Jews Harps there are some posts by Bob who is descended from Jew Harp-making Tromans (spelling varies a lot). I think he would be happy to hear from you and might be able to point you to more information.
I just looked at the surname interest registry for that site and there is someone else interested in Jeavons Fellows and another in Jeavons Fellows AND Tromans 
They can't both be you so that is at least one person, maybe two who are probably related to you!!!! If you join the Rowley site you can either post a general message or send a PM to them.Please let us know how this turns out, I am so excited for you

Back again Gardener,
Whoah! loads more info, thanks so much!!
I went onto the Rowley Regis site and fount the two "seekers" you mentioned, and have left messages, no-one has replied as yet, but I live in hopes! I am going to "do" BOB in a minute!
I also went on to family search and found the marriage of Benjamin Trowman and Ann Trowman, 21 april 1815. I'm stuck now because I don't know what Ann's maiden name was.Is there an earlier census than 1851 or something else I can look on ? I tried family search but it didn't turn anything up. I suppose as she was 63 in 1851, that makes her born about 1788 ish?
I keep getting sidetracked by linking up the brothers and sisters etc.( much to my husbands annoyance as I never stop going on about it!!!
One thing is decided, next time we come over to England, I will be going to the burial grounds to see the family graves!!
wil speak soon,
regards Sushi
