The Rossiter Family

[rcuser]

I'm researching the Rossiter family tree and am searching for information on Frederick Rossiter born in 1857 at Great Elm, Somerset. The 1881 census record him and his wife Sarah and daughter Emily as living at 19 Belle Vue Road,Brislington. I'm also trying to find his wife's full maiden name so that I can research further. If anyone has access to later censuses I'dbe grateful for any information you find please.

Hi,

In our census forum we have a thread where some generous people are doing lookups on the 1891 census.  If you have not already, reply in that topic with these details and they will look them up for you,

Just had a look in the 1891 census for you Rossiter Family – there are 18 Frederick Rossitor’s, but none are aged 34 as yours would be.  
There is a 35 year old Frederick who comes from Somerset, but his wife is not called Sarah and he does not have a daughter Emily.
Looked through the Emily’s – there are 33 of them, picked out those that were over 10 (if she was on the 1881, she must be over 10) there was 9 of them and looked to see if any had a mum named Sarah (In case Frederick had died) – but again no luck.

So sorry, can not find them at present – Do you have any further info

Thanks for that Chris. Emily Rossiter was born in Brislington in 1880 and her sister Ethel E. Rossiter was born in 1879. There should also be Arthur Rossiter, Lewis Rossiter and Harry(possibly Henry) Rossiter,Edith Rossiter and a few others.

Hope this helps. Thanks again.

Just had an after-thought, Chris that Frederick may not have had his birthday at the time the census was taken and may be shown as being aged 33.

Hi,
Do any of your Rossiter's come from East Pennard, Somerset, my husband's mother was a Rossiter, but they were all centred around the East Pennard area.

Hi Charmaine,

My family originates from the Frome area and I have traced my family back to Daniel Rossiter born about 1720 but still have a long way to go.

I am also compiling a file on the Rossiter family generally. I call it "Rossiter Snippets".
I gather pieces of information to do with the Rossiter family and try to link new snippets of information up with those that I have.

I think I already have some information about Rossiters from East Pennard but would be pleased to hear what info you have and would be pleased to share what I can find with you.

It is a massive family and is scattered all over the world. I look forward to hearing from you wit interest.

Hi Charmaine,
Thanks for that. I have most of that info in my "Rossiter Snippets" file apart from the details about Stephen's children. I have another child listed Ernest E. Rossiter.Does that ring any bells?

I didn't have the info about Walter. Just checking, is the info at the end of your message about Stephen's son Walter?
