This very interesting report describes the family of EDWARD
ROSSITER and
his wife ELIZABETH (ne้ QUICK) of Somerset, and what befell their six children
when they were orphaned at an early age.
Two of the boys (EDWARD
JAMES and
CHARLES
ROSSITER) were raised by their uncle GEORGE
CLIST and his wife MARY (ne้ QUICK),
my great-grandparents.
EDWARD
JAMES ROSSITER had a very close bond with his Uncle and Aunt. He worked for his
Uncle for many years and later took over GEORGE
CLIST's blacksmithing business
and "The Forge",
the associated cottage where my great-grandparents first lived and which was
home to my grandfather SIDNEY
GEORGE CLIST until he emigrated to New Zealand in 1910.
Descendants of Edward and Elizabeth Rossiter are numerous, and now live in England, Scotland, Australia and New Zealand.
Freda's story is well written and easy to read.
Some portions are withheld, to respect the privacy of living persons.
