Somerset / John and Sarah Rosser
« on: Sunday 30 April 23 10:10 BST (UK)  »
Hello.

I'm looking for information on John and Sarah Rosser.

They had 3 children I'm aware of:
Ann b abt 1821
Sarah bap 5 Nov 1826 St Mary Redcliffe (surname noted as Rossar)
Benjamin bap 11 Jan 1829 St Mary Redcliffe (surname noted as Rossar)

The two baptisms note John as a shipwright in Bedmister.

Sarah is a charwoman in the 1841 Census (born abt 1796) at 14 Seyl Place Bedminster, living with Ann and Benjamin. I can't find her after that.
I have not located John in the 1841 Census.

Down / Elizabeth Wells
« on: Saturday 02 November 19 02:46 GMT (UK)  »
Born c 1861 in County Down?

I suspect the family emigrated approx 1861 from Down to Scotland; I can't find them in 1861 Scottish Census. In 1871 Census at 2 Parkside Shotts Scotland with parents William and Margaret Wells. Census says she (and the rest of the family) was born in County Down.

However, this contradicts her birthplace on her 1930 NSW death certificate, which says Shotts. (I can't find any civil/parish registration in Scotland).

Emigrated to NSW in 1879, so not in 1881 Scottish Census. (Her mother, Margaret, died in Shotts in 1874).

Any assistance of birth/baptism/other appreciated.
