Hi rcuser

The vital records index has a baptism for George Hubert Rossitter 9th February 1862 at Melbury Osmond, Dorset parents James Rossitter and Ellen Judith, I don't think it's far from Halstock but I'm not good on Dorset.

Hi rcuser,

George H Rossiter is on 1871 census with grandparents; found him on www.dorset-opc.com.

Israel (57), Eliza (60) Childs & George H Rossiter (9) grandson.

Is this your man?

Hi nanny jan/Rosie,

Thanks for the posts.

Must admit that when I posted I was expecting to have confirmation of information held in my database.

As it is both your posts have introduced me to two families which don't appear to be in my database.

As a matter of interest, nanny jan, whats the relationship between Israel & Eliza please?

Best wishes

Sorry Israel and Eliza Childs are husband and wife; George's grandparents.

Possibly more Rossiter  information on www.dorset-opc.com; I only looked at the census!

Hi nanny jan/Rosie,

Many thanks for all that. I need to connect George Hubert to his ancestors.

Is it possible please to get details of his parents so I can know where to look for his Rossiter grand- parents?

Best wishes

Hi rcuser,

This looks like the marriage registration:

James Rossiter   Jun 1861   Sherborne  5a   725   ( found on FreeBMD)

one of the brides:  Ellen Childs

Copy of the certificate should give the name of the paternal grandfather.

You could look for James on 1851 census; possibly in the Sherborne area.
