Hi Paul,

Many thanks for that.

Could you post census details of that Benjamin please?

May be I can recognise his line from who he was living with at the time.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi
 1841 census:
1.  Benjamin Rossiter: b about 1826 Somerset. registered living in Whatley. others on list do not appear to have any family connection with him!

2. Benjamin Rossetter: b 1831 Somerset. living Leigh Upon Mendip with father (James b1791) and mother (Hannah)

1851 census:
1. BR: (#2 above) living in Leigh with father (now widowed). occupation given for BR as journeyman carpenter
2. Benjamin Rossiter: b 1826 Lullington, Somerset. listed as  unmarried and a servant with Millet family

1861
same BR, servant, listed same place, same family, same job!! by 1871 census our servant is still a servant with Eliza Moore in Rowde.

There are several marriages listed for Benjamin Rossiter ..(not the servant above who is unmarried). Those in the Bath area (..ish!):
1869 Axbridge (cant find spouse)
1876 Melksham ( a little far away?) to Annie Ovens
1877 Amesbury to Elizabeth Matthews
1899 Wells (closer but would make him about 70!) to Elizabeth Hann

anything else, just ask!

PS there is a website for people searching about the Rossiter family: users.winshop.com.au/merv

PPS!!   found a Benjamin S Rossiter born in Bath, but around 1839!  1861 census has him on a boat in Hong Kong as a RMA Gunner in the Navy!

Hi Paul,

Many thanks for that.

Still can't identify Benjamin born 1826 at the moment.

Recognise Benjamin born 1831 as the son of James Rossiter & Hannah Chinnock.

Like you I can't find the spouse of Benjamin married in Marc Qtr 1869 at Axbridge.

The marriage to Annie Ovens was as far as I know to Elizabeth Amor as FreeBMD records both Annie & Elizabeth but I found him on the 1881 census with Elizabeth & 5 children.

Recognise Benjamin who married Elizabeth Matthews as the son of George Rossiter and Mary Walker who married in Rode, Somerset in 1814 but know little else about them.

Don't recognise the Benjamin who married Elizabeth Hann at present.

Thanks for the Rossiter site weblink but I know Merv already as we sometimes compare notes on awkward Rossiter cases by e-mail.

I can only guess that Benjamin born 1826 in Lullington may be descended from Richard Rossiter who married Sarah Millet in 1759 in Lullington but I have no details about their children at present.

It certainly is a puzzle.

Thanks again for all your help.

Best wishes
