Rossiters in Rode (Road)

[Katy]

I am trying to find information about Job Rossiter (1795 - 1885), 3 x ggrandfather from Rode. My 2 x ggrandfather was George Rossiter (?1828 - 1886). I would be interested in finding any siblings of George and his mother, ie Job's wife and any information about Job.

That sounds about right as George and Jemima did have a daughter named Ellen.

Is this your family on the 1841 census in Rode?

Joseph ROSSITER Blacksmith aged 59
Ellen aged 26
Job aged 23
Joseph aged 20
Edwin aged 18
Gilbert aged 16
Edward aged 11

I am trying to track down another ROSSITER blacksmith - William, who I can find in the 1851 census but not the 1841 one - please keep an eye out for him in your research!!!!

I don't think this is the correct one, as this Job is the wrong age. I had come across this Job Rossiter and believed him to be a son of my Job, ie brother of George and William.

However, Joseph senior may be a brother of the Job I am interested in as some of the names ie Joseph, Ellen and Edward seem to be family names.

I will look out for other William Rossiters, particularly blacksmiths, and let you know if I find any.

If you can find the Jon that I am interested in I would be very grateful, but I seem to have hit a brick wall with him.

Hi Katy,

Do you know who Job married yet please?

From the snippets I have I believe son George had a brother William born in 1829.

George married a Jemima Millett on December 25th 1849. They had three children William, Emily and Frank.

Does this sound like the same family to you?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

best wishes

Hi

Yes this is the same family.

I do not know who Job's wife was yet.

I am aware that George had at least one brother, William is the only one I have managed to find b 1829 as you say.

George did marry Jemima, they had 13 children, 11 surviving, Emily is my great grandmother.

Are you researching the same family?

Hi Katy,

I'm just researching the Rossiter family tree generally. My mother was a Rossiter and I started just researching my direct line. Having solved that fairly quickly I started to research other branches linked to mine and before you know it I've got a database of over 4000 people.

Do you know any of the names of the 13 children or their dates and places of birth please? Also who did Emily marry? Hopefully with that info I'll be able to track some of them down.

Look forward to hearing from you.

best wishes

Hi

I have quite a lot of information about my Rossiter line, which I will pass on to you tomorrow (Wednesday) or Thursday, I will need to get all my information together, and make sure I give you correct dates etc.

My great grandmother, Emily, married her first cousin, James Arthur Bullen (their mothers were sisters, Jemima Millett being Emily's mother and Ellen Henrietta Millett being James' mother). Emily was one of the youngest. One of her older sisters was Clara, she married a Henry William Plowman in 1886, there were no children. One of their brothers was Joseph who in 1881 was on the Superb, in the Navy. Henry Plowman was also a seaman and we wonder whether they met each other in the Navy, we may never know.

I hope that helps a little bit, I will get back with dates and names in the next couple of days, if you could link these up at all, I would be extremely grateful.

Speak to you soon.

Do you have a copy of the transcript of Job Rossiter's entry in the 1871 Census. Is there anymore information on it? Could you perhaps let me know where they were living at the time?

Many thanks
