Member Since: June 2013 Posts: 27 Send Message	I know for certain that this is my Great Grandfather, and his wife was called Rosinea,/ rosina/ and also spelt Rosennah the last piece of information was the census 1891 whereby they were shown to be living in Montague Road, Leytonsone, E11. Rosina was born in Portsmouth in 1861 or thereabouts. But I can find no record of their marriage, not Benjamin that can be certain of, There is a William H Watts who may be his father but I cant be sure. How can I find out about their marriage etc/ Thank you

	We're looking at the same 1891 census, Carol, folio, page and piece numbers are the same. The address is 2 Gladsone Terrace but the top of the page reads Montague Rd.

	It's just a mistranscription on the 1891 census, Carol, if you look at the original it's very difficult to read. And they're not in 2 different places Gladstone Terrace is on Montague Rd. This seems to be Rose's parents and brother in 1881. At the same address but a boarder with another family is Benjamin Watts.
