Hi Sally Many thanks for your reply I have search Lancashire for a Richard Rossiter son of Richard Rossiter and have found a Richard Rossiter who married Jane Coppell in 1785 at Chidwall. Our Richard jr was born 1789 making him about 10 years older than our Bryan Rossiter. Unfortunately I can't find a connection between Richard and Bryan Bryan became an excise officer in Liverpool in 1824 and died on the job in 1853. Would you know if there would be any employment records available? I contacted [email protected] for help and they were unsuccessful. Any help appreciated Merv Rossiter ----- Original Message ----- From: "sally roberts" <[email protected]> To: "englanliverpool" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2012 8:39 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-LIV] Rossiter > > Hi Merv, > > You can apply for Bryan Rossiter's death certificate with the reference > numbers you have.

Hi Merv, Any records to do with Customs & Excise are held at The National Archives - http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/research-guides/customs-excise-tax-officers.htm Sadly, these records are not available to view online from what I can see.
