I've been contacted by a fellow researcher, and I'm having problems trying to answer him as I can't find any details he is looking for. The following is from his email.
"Margaret is a descendent of John Rozier from Stowmarket who married a Charlotte Balaam, we understand that Charlotte was born in Stowmarket on 15 May 1808, her parents were Philip Balaam and Elizabeth Flack.
The Church record of their wedding was described as follows:-
“John Roshier of this Combs Parish, a Bachelor and Charlotte Balaam of this Parish, Spinster, were married in this Church by Banns, with consent of parents on this 10th day of November 1822”.
The marriage was officiated by Mr Chris Lawson, Curate.
John signed his name as “John Roshier” and Charlotte made her “mark”.
During their marriage, the Church records for baptisms of John and Charlotte Rozier’s children in the Parish Church at Stowmarket indicated that they brought the following children into the world:-
·Anna Maria, christened at Stowmarket, 18 May 1823, daughter of John & Charlotte Rosier, John’s occupation was “Brickmaker”. Anna later married William Turner.
·Robert, christened at Stowmarket, 29 September 1825, son of John & Charlotte Rosier, John’s occupation was “labourer”. Robert died 3 October 1825, aged 4 days.
·Sarah, christened at Stowmarket, 12 July 1829, daughter of John & Charlotte, John was a labourer. Sarah died on 18 July 1836, aged 7 years.
·Betsy, christened at Stowmarket, 19 August 1832, daughter of John & Charlotte, John was a labourer.
·John Theophilus Rosier, christened at Stowmarket, 19 October 1834, (noted on record was a reference to John saying “transported last March”.
We have details of John Rosier including his sentence for stealing, his subsequent transportation to Australia as a convict in 1834, his marriage to another convict woman, the birth of four (4) children, and his death in 1854.
Despite spending a great deal of time we cannot find out what happened to Charlotte following her husband’s transportation to Australia.
Can you please advise what happened to Charlotte, did she remarry? when and how did she die?"
Any answers please?
