William & Diana Roser nee Wilson

[tmm1975]

Hi,
Can anyone out there shed any light on this couple, They came to Aust on the Simon Taylor 1842 with four daughters.  I know that they appear on the 1841 Census in East Grinstead and that at the time they had a son called John.  Unfortunately I cannot find any record of what happened to John or who who William and Diana's Parents were.  Does anyone know of this family?
Kind Regards
Tanya

Thanks Cathay- For those who are interested, I found a Jacques Rosaire coming in to England from France with the Huguenot's and I wonder if this is my forebear or a member of my family. I don't know when he came or how but I would like to hear from someone about him. Thanks- ROSER

I am a descendant of William & Dianah Roser
I am also a Psychic Medium, yes I inherited the Gypsy blood line and am very proud of it, I have had Elizabeth coming to me over the last 1.5 years, I have the true story as to what happened to her, and also she is here a lot in the last few weeks, with a message, her bones will be found in the next 3 months, no one will know who she is.
They are not going to find all her bones, but she is holding up the bones and showing me, she wants her story told, please if anyone has the authors phone number, can you please contact me. Elizabeth is very excited about this, please help.

Hi,the orginal lady descended from the Roser's was quite a old lady in 2008 and I am not sure she is still alive?She lived in or near Perth.She had extensive history on the family but I think it is on another link?Hope that helps?As far as i remember the Elizabeth who was williams daughter was completely missing and no one could find her.We thought she may have wandered and been caught and ate by wild animals.This is 14 years ago and I myself am a old lady so cannot remember for sure if I am correct.

In search of Elizabeth was written by Jan Young a direct descendant of William roser.I think she may have passed by now but here are the link I had to the book
The book In search of Elizabeth : the history of William and Dianah Roser is available at the National Library.

Clearly Elizabeth didn't get eaten by anything because she grew up and married.  I would speculate that the story was made up by someone who was annoyed that she married a convict.  James received his conditional pardon in August 1854 and it appears they left WA soon after.
