Hi Stuart

It is only a theory about Rosina's birth and parents marriage --as I couldn't find a birth under " Field "

However if its the right Rosina for you in the 1901 census that Lindsey found for you --then her Mum was Ellen and Dad was John W. --so it does seem to tie in, but you really do need certs. to "make sure" we are on the right track.


This MAY be ELLEN in 1881 census

Steve, if you click on Stuart's name you can send him a message.

I do hope that those aren't personal telephone numbers that you have given as that breaches GRs. terms and conditions.
