1861 Census Lookup For Sarah Willcox Rossiter

[rcuser]

Hi,

I am trying to get information about the parents and siblings of Sarah Willcox Rossiter christened on September 14th 1851 in Leigh Upon Mendip. I suspect she may have a sister called Mary Anne christened January 15th 1854 also in Leigh.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Best wishes

Hi Tanja,

Thanks for that. You've confirmed that they were part of the same family. It looks like the two girls probably died hence no entry on the censuses. Many thanks.

Have a good day.
