Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply and the informnation.

I got quite a lot of my info from the Holy Trinity records.

Also found this helpful:-

I think I have Matthew Rossiter the wedding witness in my database. He was born in 1846 and married Theresa Gatherall in 1880 at Holy Trinity RC Church, Ferrylands.

Given just a five year gap in birthdates between Matthew and Margaret, I suspect that they may be brother and sister.

Some of Matthew's children have similar names to Margaret's as the Rossiters often recycled the same Christian names between generations.

I also have an Ellen Rossiter born circa 1884 who married John Keating in 1904 at Holy Trinity RC Church,Ferrylands who may be related in some way but haven't got her parents at this point.I think the church could be a significant factor here.

Tried to find Patrick & family in the 1881 Census but could not see them.

I have other Rossiters from the same area but at present they are separate in my database. So most of the pieces are there. If only we can find who links to who and what common ancestors they have.

Hope this ramble helps.

Best wishes

Kevin
