(Durham) 1841/1851 Census Lookup Requests Please For Solomon Rossiter

[rcuser]

Hi,

I am doing a one name study of the Rossiter family and am looking for information please about the parents, grandparents and siblings of Solomon Rossiter born circa 1824 in Darlington.

As far as I am aware, he had emigrated to Salt Lake City,Utah before 1857.

Any information would be greatly appreciated please. TIA.

Best wishes

Hello recuser

Did you know that you can search the Durham Bishops' Transcripst free on http://www.rootschat.com/links/05s9/  htey're not name-indexed but Darlington is there if you wish to search for Solomon's baptism

May I ask where you got the information that he was born Darlington as I can't immediately see him in 1841 census?

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for that.

I did not know about the site which you have linked to.

I got the information about Solomon from the IGI:-
http://www.familysearch.org/ENG/search/IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=100084826891&lds=1&region=2&regionfriendly=British+Isles&frompage=99

The problem I have is that I have two marriages:-

http://www.familysearch.org/ENG/search/IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=100079436275&lds=1&region=2&regionfriendly=British+Isles&frompage=99

http://www.familysearch.org/ENG/search/IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=500112820778&lds=1&region=11&regionfriendly=North+America&frompage=99

Solomon appears to have married the same woman on the same date in two different places so not only do I want to link him to his parents I want to resolve which of these two records is correct.

Best wishes

Ah, I see they are all member-submitted entries, not extracted from Parish records.

You will probably find the IGI search labs site very useful in your research, it's a pilot site and free to use.

The Darlington Register Office has an online search at http://www.darlington.gov.uk/Living/Register+Office/RegOfficeSearch.htm

No results there for the marriage - so possibly the Salt Lake marriage would be the right one.

The only early Solomon Rossiter I can see in census is in Frome, Somerset

Kind regards
Barbara
