Thanks slowhands, I have followed the link to your post on May's enquiry and, well, it all forms a bit of a circle! May was enquiring in 2005 prior to my visit to the UK. Yes, it seems that Edward is my ancestor and, interestingly, the Rosser's have spent time over the generations on both sides of the bar not to their great profit it would seem. In the past I have been a licensee. One of Edward's sons - James (1836) died from liver failure seemingly from spending too much time on the 'wrong' side of the bar!

Now that we have a good 'handle' on Edward I am interested to trace any siblings. From my understanding Edward was the son of John and Sarah Rosser of Coleford, and had two brothers William, born 11/11/1810 and Richard, born 24/02/1908 and possibly a sister Elizabeth 06/09/1801. To date I have been unable to trace any of their descendents. Any assistance with that would be greatly appreciated as I have accounted for all of Edward (1806) male descendents and we are desparately few in number - it would be nice to know someone was keeping John and Sarah's line going a little better than us!
