(Sussex) 1841/1851/1861/1871 Census Lookup Requests Please For Samuel Rossiter

[rcuser]

Hi,

I am doing a one name study of the Rossiter family and am looking for information about the parents, grandparents, siblings and children of Samuel Rossiter baptised on 22.7.1855 at Lancing.

I know his parents are Samuel Rossiter and Ellen Knight but have no details of them.

I also know that Samuel had at least two brothers ( John born circa 1858/ William born circa 1864..both in Lancing)

Any information would be greatly appreciated please. TIA.

Best wishes

Hi Tricia,

Belated Happy New Year Wishes!!

Many thanks for that. That definitely is the family. After you posted I found Blanche in the 1881 Census living with her uncle Edwin Knight.

Best wishes

The nearest match I can see in 1851 is Samuel Lasiter/Rositer age 20 or 26 born Chichester lodging with James Norton and family. Occupation Labourer(Common) Jobbing. Living in Chapel Street  Chichester



 HO107/1653 Folio 208 Page 3

This may not be him, of course. I will have another search around

A Very Happy New Year to you as well

Hi Tricia,

If Samuel is already lodging in 1851 it looks like his parents could be hard to find.

Wonder if he is related to the Nortons or apprenticed perhaps?
