Hi.

Sorry but there seems very little on the 1901 for Rossiter either living or born in Pontefract :


William D. Rossiter    b. Pontefract  1892  nephew of Frederick W. Piper

Cyril F. Rossiter         b. Pontefract  1893  son of  Frank J. Rossiter and Bertha Rossiter


What you really need is his birth certificate so you can I.D. his parents :

Walter Rossiter   Born  Oct/Nov/Dec 1897    District: Pontefract    Vol. 9c    Page 148


Hope this helps.

Hi David,

Thanks very much for taking the time and trouble to look those up.

I recognise some of the names from my database.

I've managed to identify Walter's parents as James Rossiter born circa 1862 in Radstock, Somerset & Annie Clarke born 1868 in Toronto, Canada.

I believe that their children were living in Castleford and were recorded at the Pontefract.

Hope that helps.

Best wishes
