The Rossiter Family

[rcuser]

On a slightly different tangent, I'm trying to find the parents of Jonas Rossiter born 1817 in East Pennard. He married Catharine  born 1815 from Barford St Martins but we have no surname.

I think they must have married about 1838 as their first child John was born in 1839 in East Pennard.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.TIA.

Hi Shanko,

Thanks very much for the post. That information clears up a few anomalies I have about the family particularly birth years.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi rcuser,

I am researching the same rossiter line as you. Jonas Rossiter and catherine Toilkins were my Gr Gr Gr Gr Grandparents. His father was also called Jonas as was his. The original one came from Evercreech in 1774ish. All of this Rossiter family appear to be farm labourers in the main but also includes a butler of the Duke of Clevedon. Would be willing to share the info i have If you e-mail me as there is quite a lot to write here.

best wishes

Hi RedIndian86/Shanko,

I have the baptism details for Jonas too, plus some other info which hopefully will link them up with the main Rossiter familly at Evercreech. I'm quite happy to share info.

Have you tried the Frome Research page?

Hello Listers
I am new to this list and researching ROSSITER Family in Nottinghamshire and
Lancashire

However I believe that they have a connection to Somerset because I have a
James ROSSITER marrying a Catherine DICKS/DIX in 1814 and there are
instances of the DIX family in Frome marrying ROSSITERS
Frail connection I know but someone may help
regards
