Ok now I have an update to this
Gardener hope you are looking in on this one......
Now myself and Lin have kicked this one around for about 3 yrs
I am now of the mind that my William Rose is a William Smart
which means all my links to the Tibbetts Roses etc are out of the window!
Just to recap
William Rose b abt 1852/3 "son" of Samuel Rose b 1828
-no birth certif at all and it has been bottomed that one.....yet other kids of Samuel and Mary Ann Rose have birth certif
-no bapt yet Spencer Rose and Harriet Rose are bapt at Graingers lane
-not on 1861 census....but on 1871 (not on 1881) and then on 1891 and 1901 (not looked for 1911 )
BUT next door to Samuel Rose and wife Mary Ann is a family of Smarts from Lincs
Wm Smart father
Selina mother (formerly Roberts)
Wm smart aged 8 born Deeping Lincs
Joseph smart aged 1
I think this is my William Rose taken in by the Rose family.
I found a bapt and this is the info from Archives
"I have checked the baptism entry for William Roberts and the following is unfortunately the only information recorded in the register.
22 May 1853 baptism of William son of Selina Roberts of Langtoft, singlewoman."
so it appears that William Smart born 1853 was bapt as above
BUT
Today I recd the birth certif
12th April 1853- Langtoft- William - boy- Father William Smart- mother Mary Smart formerly Roberts- occup of father Agricultural labourer- X of Mary Roberts
mother Langtoft
also the other birth entries just didnt fit
Births Sep 1852
Roberts William Lincoln 7a 433 ------..."The entry for William Roberts has a father and mother entered, the mother is not Selena."
Births Mar 1853
Smart William Bourn 7a 285-----------"The March 1853 entry has the wrong parents altogether."
Births Jun 1853 Smart William Bourn 7a 29-------------" have also checked the 1861 census and the entry we have for June 1853 seems to fit best with the census information even though the mother is not Selena".............info from lincs regis office
this is the one I have............
