ALL descendancy charts follow the surname only and
exclude people born
within the last hundred years.
• Linked names will take you to the chart for that
surname, with the
focused person at the top of the page...
• Unless
the linked name is at the top of the tree, in which case, you'll land
back on the chart of direct ancestors.
• Hovering over a name, date or event should reveal
brief source
information.
MANY
thanks are due here to Chelsea Hawkins
and her family (descendants of Hugh Ross) for pointing me towards
records relating to Edward's
parents, siblings, grandparents, uncle, aunts and cousins. And
for
providing photographs of Edward and his immediate family. Previously,
he was little more than a name and occupation on his daughter's baptism
certificate. My grandmother always said that his family came from
Ireland.
Grateful thanks are also necessary to Teresa Clautour for introducing
John and
Elizabeth's youngest son, Alexander Benjamin. The India Office Returns
detailing his baptism had mistranscribed "Rosse" as "Rossell", but
brother George's will confirms him as a member of the family.
