Francis Rossiter Of Beverstone, Gloucester

[bguser]

Hi,

I'm trying to find the parents of Francis Rossiter born in Beverstone in 1817. If someone has access to the parish records I'd be grateful for all information about his parents please so I can link him up with the rest of his family.

Any info greatly appreciated. Thank you.

best wishes

Hi Andrew,

Many many thanks for that. We've been trying to get past this bottleneck for months. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to look this up.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks again for that information. Benjamin was a blacksmith. It's possible that he may have had to travel to get work.

More info on Sarah would be useful as I had no information about her. Thanks again.
