Hi John He is actually enumerated as *ROSSETER* and born *Tuxford* Notts (it always helps to give the census ref when you post) 1851 England Census about James Rosseter Name: James Rosseter Age: 70 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1781 Relation: Lodger Gender: M (Male) Where born: Tuxford, Nottinghamshire, England Civil parish: Banbury Ecclesiastical parish: South Banbury Town: Banbury County/Island: Oxfordshire Country: England Registration district: Banbury Sub-registration district: Cropredy ED, institution, or vessel: 9d Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 80 Piece: 1734 Folio: 388 Page Number: 22 Household Members: Name Age <snip> James Rosseter 70 <snip> HO107; Piece: 1734; Folio: 388; Page: 22; GSU roll: 193644. The man above is U(nmarried) and aged 70 and the birth place seems a little specific if he was actually born in Somerset although as we know things may not be recorded correctly Have you checked Tuxford to rule out a baptism there for a ROSSITER or any other James of the same period In the 1841 there is a James ROSSITER of the right age not so far from Witham Friary who may be the same man in 1851 less than ten miles from Witham Friary Have you found him in 1841?

Hello Nivard and Mavis I apologise for the silly errors in my first email Mavis ..yes I mean 1772 The dates that I have are 1814 Marriage in Tuxford to Catharine ELVIDGE Nee DIX at Tuxford 1841 Census for Tuxford Nottinghamshire. He is shown as 69 years born Tuxford and as you say Mavis he is with William and Ann KIRK. [I have never seen a print of the original 1841 Census just a typed copy from Nott's Family History Soc] I have the 1851 census in Banbury , as you point out Nivard, I assumed that as most were shown as Umar that whoever completed the census form was not aware that he was a Widower as his wife died in 1838 in Tuxford and I have his death Cert Dec 1852 Narrow Marsh, Nottingham He has the following children baptised in Tuxford parish church Mary Ann 1814 William 1816 Eleanor 1819 James 1826 [My line] Emma 1829 I have always considered the possibility that his earliest memories were in Tuxford and that he assumed that was where he was born. Mavis, I have never considered the Apprentice records but I will look into them as soon as possible Is the Guildhall in Nottingham City. I have visited the Record Office some years ago Regards John -----Original Message----- From: Nivard Ovington Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2012 11:00 AM To: Gensearcher ; [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTT] ROSSITER Family Hi John He is actually enumerated as *ROSSETER* and born *Tuxford* Notts (it always helps to give the census ref when you post) 1851 England Census about James Rosseter Name: James Rosseter Age: 70 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1781 Relation: Lodger Gender: M (Male) Where born: Tuxford, Nottinghamshire, England Civil parish: Banbury Ecclesiastical parish: South Banbury Town: Banbury County/Island: Oxfordshire Country: England Registration district: Banbury Sub-registration district: Cropredy ED, institution, or vessel: 9d Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 80 Piece: 1734 Folio: 388 Page Number: 22 Household Members: Name Age <snip> James Rosseter 70 <snip> HO107; Piece: 1734; Folio: 388; Page: 22; GSU roll: 193644.
