COMPLETED.......Rose/Law/Portman/Law connection
Another Joseph Rose born Rowley Village:-
http://www.bcconnections.tribalpages.co ... =542322533
But some strange changes of surname down the line as daughter Sarah Rose marries a Abraham Portman who dies young but she has children by lodger Levi Law 7-9 years younger than her. Childrens names change between Law and Portman on Census and as they marry.
Levi then goes on to marry at age 72 to a woman of 57.
Problem area is that although Census shows a Phyliss Portman or Phyliss Law born c.1857 ( no sign of a Phyliss Law Phyliss Portman but a Martha Portman found on freeBMD born 1858)or it would appear that she marries a George Smith as Martha Portman and Census continues to note as Marttha in 1881 and 1891.
I would just like someone to check what I have entered to see if it makes sense.

These Laws connect to Neville Bastable via Jane Lucretia Bastable who narried both Joseph Law and Samuel Shaw.

Re: Rose/Law/Portman/Law connection
I have inserted all those details and a lot more but I want someone to check and agree what I have noted as relationship of Martha Portman ( i.e. her being Phyliss Portman/Law)
I agree Linell that your earlier Levi Law must be related but could not find connection.

Re: Rose/Law/Portman/Law connection
So we could look that marriage up
1877
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
PORTMAN Martha SMITH George Dudley, St Thomas Dudley Register Office 204/034/248
see if father is Levi
could Phyllis be middle name?
as you say no Phyllis but there is a Martha
odd

Re: Rose/Law/Portman/Law connection
I am getting closer to a connection between the two Law families as two Joseph Laws researching were married in same year at same Church:-
LAW Joseph BASTABLE Jane Dudley, St Thomas Dudley Register Office 204/035/353 1879
LAW Joseph HILL Eliza Dudley, St Thomas Dudley Register Office 204/035/221 1879
I will post for look up but it is possible latter one will show no father
