The Rossiter Family

[boycefamilytree]

i am quite sure there is a connection to the Boyce family in Evercreech or Ditcheat and the Rossiter family in the early 1800's in Somerset
Put Evercreech in the search engine and i am sure that there is a researcher with info there.

Hi Boycefamilytree,

In my database I have a William Boyce born 1792, son of William Boyce Snr & Keziah Turner. He married Elizabeth Rossiter at Evercreech on November 29th 1813. She was the daughter of James Rossiter & Elizabeth Mullins.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes

yes , got that info from www.familysearch.org
they have the family group of Boyce Rossitter  and pedigree chart back to william boyce 1722 evercreech/ rebekah ballinger 1823 and abraham mullins 1737/ elizabeth beach 1732 on rossitter side. also goes further back but not printed it all out.
this is the problem i have .
two william boyce born within two years of each other in close villages who are most likely cousins.

Hi boycefamilytree,

I have that information too right back to a James and Hannah Boyce who married in Evercreech in 1716. Unfortunately, I haven't got Hannah's maiden name.

I'll be glad to give you a hand with your 2 Williams. Can you either post or PM the details and I will see what I can dig up.

Best wishes

You say you  are interested in Rossiters generally.  My Northumberland Rossiters started with William Rossiter a tailor from Cullompton, Devon born around 1749.

Do you have any information that might help me?

[boycefamilytree]

Irene there is a connection to the Rossiter family in Somerset but the connection is not as simple as it seems at the moment.
we are all trying to get the Boyce connections at the moment.
If you put in Rossiter of Evercreech you may find another relative there.

THANKS

Hi Irene,

Have you any further information about William please? Was he married and if so who to please? William is a very common Rossiter christian name and dates of birth are not always a great help.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes
