Just so I can poke if I have time this week....could you lay out your "Knowns" abit and bracket it so there will be a bit more to play with? Cod -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kristy Willoughby Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 1:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Roses in Barbados Hi, The only indication I have of when my Robert RR Rose was born is from "General Don's Muster" which was taken in 1815 of all the military aged males on Jersey. There is a Richmond Rose in St Helier aged 51. If this is my man (and I think it is) that makes his DOB c1764. That makes the marriage of Robert Rose and Elizabeth Brereton interesting. My Robert called his eldest daughter Elizabeth. All the advise I've been given says that Pursers in the RN came almost exclusively from the Merchant class. Businessmen in other words. Thank you all so much for your help. Anne, from hot and humid Sydney > _________________________________________________________________ Your Future Starts Here. Dream it? Then be it!
