PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY ROSSITER ANCESTORS WILTSHIRE
« on: Sunday 17 June 12 07:06 BST (UK) »
I am seeking information about William Rossiter, his Birth, Death, Parents,Siblings,Grandparents etc. I know there is a family of William Rossiter and Anne Reeves from Wedmore Somerset but do not believe this is my family as the children of my William and Anne differ, what i have so far is as follows.
William Rossiter (Rositer Rociter Roseter) Married Anne Wickham 19/11/1809 in Mere Wiltshire, William's parish was Deverell Monckton. Annes pareents were William and Elizabeth Wickham they had 2 children that i know of.  1. Elizabeth Wickham Christening 14/5/1786 Mere, Wiltshire.  2.  Anne Wickham christening 7/12/1788 Mere, Wiltshire.
William and Anne Rossiter had 7 children.
Mary  christening  16/9/1810  Deverill-Kingston, Wiltshire
William    "     "     19/5/1812        "           "            "
Anne       "     "     22/3/1814         "          "            "

Charles   "     "       23/6/1822        "           "            "

Charles (Rociter)Rossiter married Louisa White in Oct Nov Dec 1846 in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, they had 3 children.
Thomas  Born  1847 Cookham Hants, Crondall,Hartley Witney, Hampshire
Henry        "    1847        "         "            "           "          "            "
Agnes        "    1851        "         '            "           "          "            "
Charles, Louisa and the 3 children emigrated to Victoria, Australia arriving 1/1/1853 on the ship Ann Milne, Louisa died in Ararat, Victoria 1858 of Dysentry.  Charles later married Ann Fletcher in 1862 and they had 10 more children.   Thomas Rossiter born 1847 was my maternal great grandfather.  Would appreciate any help.

I note from 1851 census that Charles give his birthplace as Frome, Somerset and that in 1841 Charles is in Crondall with mother Ann 45, and sisters Mary 10 and Elizabeth 5.

How certain are you that his father is named William?   I note you say he and Louisa married in Dec.qtr.1846 which suggests you don't actually have a copy of the marriage certificate.   I can't see his mother and sisters after 1841 - do you know what happened to them?

Thanks for reply but i think you are looking at the wrong Rossiters in the 1841 census there is no Elizabeth in my family and mary was born in 1810 not 1831 (she is listed as 10 in this census) i am pretty sure that charles fathers name is William no i don,t have an actual copy of their marriage cert this info is from pallots, where and how do i get a copy of the marriage cert for william and anne is there a lot of info on them like parents names and where they were born if so i would pay to get copy for this info.
Cheers June
