Thread: Butlers, Gibbs and Rosiers from Hungerford

Hi

I am stuck on my Grandmother's mother's side of the family and I was hoping someone could help me on here.

Ann Butler was my great great Grandmother she was born in Hungerford in 1848. Her dad was Moses Butler born in 1837. I don't know who her mother was so if someone could help me out on that I would be grateful.

She married a George Rosier in 1869 in Hungerford, he was born in 1849 and lived till 1887. I don't who his parents are either, so again any help would be appreciated.

She had ten children, they all have the surname Rosier but 3 of them including my great grandmother Rose Rosier, were born after George Died. We think these Children were actually the Children of Ann Butler and Charles Gibbs, her lodger, to my knowledge they never married. I don't know anything about Charles Gibbs except that he was born in 1849 Hungerford. I really would love to know more about him.

If anyone could help me with finding out about this side of my family I would be grateful!

Thanks

Carrie-Anne

Hi Carrie-Anne,



According to your dates, Moses was only 11 when Ann Butler was born. Could you check your dates please.

There seems to have been a transcription error in the 1871 census which gives Moses’ birthdate as 1837 – on looking at the original census document his age is clearly 54 not 34! This gives him a birth year of 1817 in Woodcott, Hampshire.



In the 1851 Census he is living with his
