Hi Listers, I'm helping a friend, hopefully to break through a long time brick wall. The person of interest is a Rose Vose, born around 1800 possibly Liverpool. The information already obtained is as follows. As a single mother Rose Vose gave birth to a daughter Ellen1817 Liverpool, the father was John Watkin/Watkins, this was obtained from National Archives. Also found, Rose Vose is a witness to a marriage of a John Vose and Ellen Arnold 1815. A marriage has been found for a Rosanna [signed as Rosehanna] Vose to Thomas Robinson 1820. The baptism of two sons have been found from this marriage, James and Thomas baptised All Saints Childwall, also a burial for the child James, there is also a burial of a Rose Robinson 1835 age 35. Unfortunately with not a lot of information given on marriage entry, no link has been found to if Rose Vose and Rosanna Vose are one and the same person. Ellen the daughter of Rose Vose, married and eventually emigrated to Australia around 1858. On her death information is states place of birth as Old Swan Liverpool. I would much appreciate any help, guidelines etc. of what steps to take next to solving the elusive Rose Vose as no baptism has been found. Many thanks in advance, for any suggestions. Best regards. Jean Flanagan, Liverpool.
