i am looking for a william roscoe, not a common name you might think but so
far a very elusive one i am finding , the information i have so far is that
william roscoe my great grandfather married mary jane rowlands from Elwy
House in abergele/pensarn,
william roscoe junior was i am led to beleive was born in llanfair is y gaer
in caernarvon/shire his father who is also called william roscoe is the
person i am having difficulty with , i know he was born in runcorn in 1846,
he was a master mariner and lived at
number 3 dinorwig terrace caernarvon in the 1881 census he was 35 and
married with 4 children one of which the eldest was my great grandfather
william roscoe jnr, william snr married Ellen Owens from Bethesda,
but i have not been able to get any information on their marriage or deaths
or anything on William Roscoe's (snr) parents it stated in an old family
bible (which i no longer know its whereabouts) that william roscoe born in
runcorn 1846 was a master mariner and owned schooners which carried slate
from port dinorwig.
after the 1881 census there is no record of him at all i have looked through
the deaths at sea with no results, does anyone have access to the 1891
census ? wold it be possible for anyone to look up births in runcorn for me
of any william roscoe's in 1846. So much for having an unusuall or uncommon
name to search i am convinced it would have been easier for me to search a
john jones at least i would have had a mountain of text to read , heres
hopeing someone somewhere out there can help me, my thanks to all in
advance.
kind regards
Einir Roscoe
