Thanks, Shera and Alberta. Looks like you have given me possible gt-gt-gt- grandparents in john and sybyl. 1861 gives living with Eliza born 1856 who i believe married a Harry Cooper 1890 in west brom. Who had daughter Sybil Cooper b. 1891 my gran, dont know if there was siblings, as my gran never spoke of any but i believe upon her death my late dad discovered an uncle he did not know of. So far i have not proven her story that she was somehow decended from a duke in her family. I've found a clerk, gunsmith and a milkman. Still looking !.

Hi, My Great great great grandparents were Charles and Sibyl Rosson. My Great great grandparents were Caroline Rosson and James Clarke.
One of their sons, Charles Alfred and his wife, Mabel Amy Malsbury emigrated to australia in 1913. Their son, Charles Reginald was my grandfather, and his son Charles Arthur, my father. I also have a brother called Charles Ronald. as you can see charles has become a family name
