Hello there,

You might like to know that many of the Doulting Parish Registers are on Freereg. http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi

It seesm that John and Jane hadmore than 4 children. The dates they were baptised suggest a marriage date much earlier than 1829. I have found the following baptisms in Doulting, St Aldhelms, PRs:

Baptised 16/04/1815 Priscilla Rossiter daughter of John and Jane Rossiter, labourer, Doulting.
Baptised 10/08/1817 Elizabeth daughter of John and Jane Rossiter, labourer, Doulting.
Baptised 18/06/1820 Eliza, daughter of John and Jane Rossiter, Labourer, Doulting.
Baptised 18/02/1824 Charles son of John and Jane Rossiter, labourer, Bodden. Charles born either 13, or 18 January 1823.
Baptised 18/06/1825 Edmund, son of John and Jean Rossiter, labourer, Bodden.
Baptised 25/12/1828 Abel, son of John and Jane Rossiter of Doulting, labourer.

In the 1820s there were another couple baptising children in Doulting, William and Leah Rossiter.

I cannot find a marriage for John Rossiter.

I noticed that in the 1851 census, John Rossiter states he was born Bath. I wonder if Jane Hending was from Bath too. There is a baptism for a William Hending in Bath on 06/04/1783, son of John and Ann Hending.

I will continue to see what I can find.

Best wishes,

Jo
