( London) 1851/1861 Census Lookup Requests Please For Joseph Rossiter

[rcuser]

Hi,
I am looking for information please about the parents and siblings of Joseph Rossiter born circa 1846 in Marylebone.

His wife Elizabeth ( maiden name not yet known) was born circa 1851 in Lynn, Norfolk.

The 1881 Census lists two children Henry born circa 1874/5 in Toronto,Canada and Herbert born circa 1877 in Islington.

Any information would be greatly appreciated please.TIA.

Best wishes

Hi Meliora,

Many thanks for that, it puts a bit more flesh onto the skeleton I started with.

Herbert's initial "K" is interesting. I suspect that it might be a surname used as a Christian name. Wonder if it could be Kelson as this has been used in another Rossiter line.

Have to hope that someone can turn them up in the 1851 or 1861 Census. Thanks again for your help.

Best wishers
