Hi Laura,
Thanks for that.
Unfortunately, I have just started to investigate this Rossiter branch and don't have any certificates or the information on them.
I posted their family entry in the 1880 US Census as my starting point.
However, the 1870 US Census is slightly different:-
1870 United States Federal Census
about John Rositer
Name: John Rositer
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1829
Age in 1870: 41
Birthplace: Maryland
Home in 1870: Baltimore Ward 3, Baltimore (Independent City), Maryland
Race: White
Gender: Male
Value of real estate:
Post Office: Baltimore
Household Members: Name Age
John Rositer 41
Mary Rositer 35
Charles Rositer 9
Fannie Rositer 7
Ferdinand Rositer 5
Lizzie Rositer 3
Sarah Moody 18
All born Maryland. John is a boat builder. Sarah Moody a servant.
The birth years vary slightly between the 2 censuses and John is now born Maryland not Maine. Lizzie looks to have died between censuses too.
There are a lot of John Rossiters and it's difficult to be sure that you have the same John between censuses.
Also wondered if there were changes in state or city boundaries which would be recorded differently in the various censuses.
Haven't got this family in 1860 so can't explain some of the variations at present.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes
Kevin
