Hi Bill

Thanks for allowing me to view your tree on "Genes". Also have been given quite a lot of info on the Roseveare/Ball families and I have been sifting through it and the main part of it is as follows:

William Roseveare born about 1550 in Cornwall he had a son William Roseveare born 1578 and he married Elizabeth Marke born about 1582 both born Cornwall their son also William Roseveare born about 1611 died about 1660 married Thamzen Roach born about 1611 their son again William born 1648 died 1719 he married Dorothy (Unknown) born about 1650 their son William Roseveare born about 1697 died 1745 he married Elizabeth Parson born 1704 died 1765 their son John Roseveare born 1734 at Luxulyan Cornwall married Mary Coad born 1740 also Luxulyan Cornwall their son Nicholas Roseveare born 1781 in Quethiock married Ann Snell born about 1780 in Quethiock Cornwall their son George born 1810 Quethiock married Eliza Daw born 1812 they had eight children including Eliza Roseveare born 1834 Quethiock and George Roseveare born 1841 South Hill he married Elizabeth Ball b.1842 St Ive and had eight children three born in Cornwall the rest born Yorkshire - Eliza (1834) married James Ball born 1829 St Ive and had four children: Anthony William Ball born 1860 and Louisa E. Ball born 1872 and James H. Ball born 1864 and George Roseveare Ball born 1857 - this George married in 1878 (Liskeard District) Annie Shovell born 1856 in Linkinhorne Cornwall and had two children Wilfred Evelyn b.1882 and Nellie N. The George born 1841 had married Elizabeth Ball she was the sister of James Ball who married his sister Eliza - a brother and sister married a brother and sister.

Then George Roseveare born (1841) and his wife Elizabeth Ball along with George Roseveare Ball (1857) and wife Annie Shovell, Louisa E Ball (1872) went to Barnsley Yorkshire. Louisa E Ball later married in 1896 Thomas Rounsefell and had a son Harry Rounsefell b.1909. George Roseveare (1841) became a miner but eventually went into business with his son William they developed a mineral water business and built property in Cope Street Barnsley - William lived at 36, Louisa E Ball and her husband lived at 38, George and Elizabeth lived at 40 and another son of his Herbert lived at 46.
George Roseveare Ball b.1857 became a prominent figure in the Cooperative Society and lived just outside Barnsley in the Village of Worsborough his name features on many foundation stones of the Cooperative shops in and around Barnsley. Also on the foundation stones was the name of Edwin Haywood he had a daughter Kate who married in 1899 the William Roseveare mentioned above who lived at 36 Cope Street and they had four sons I was given some of this info by the granddaughter of William (she said it was OK to pass it on).

You mentioned being taken to see Wilfred John b.1948 when you were both children - if you are still in contact with him and if he is interested in the family history you may wish to pass some of the above on to him - he may already know about it and to show him my tree at Genes reunited if he would like to see it, I have not passed on any info to the granddaughter of William Roseveare about any living person who would not wish it - Wilfred John is on my tree but as living relative only.

In your last email you mentioned the colour pigment company my mother remembers this as Blythe Colour and she was a cousin of Wilfred George's as their mothers were sisters and she also remembers that her mother was present at the wedding of Wilfred George and Lucy Harrison - I think I mentioned my mother and Wilfred George were first cousins perhaps that was wrong and it should have been just cousins and a first cousin would be the children of cousins or would they be second cousins????

Am not really very well informed on how cousins are related to other cousins. Also Wilfred Evelyn was my Uncle Ronald's school teacher at one time and both Wilfred Evelyn and his wife Adelaide Gertrude were teachers. Adelaide disliked her name and was always known as Gertie. My mother says she had 3 aunts who were teachers and remembers how all 3 would come together on visits to her family and that they sat in a row on the sofa and would ask her questions about how she was doing at school etc.and it was like passing an examination. 2 of the aunts later became headmistresses.

I have not checked all of the above info at the beginning of this message only as far back as Nicholas and Ann (1781) but if correct it goes back to the time of Queen Elizabeth I.
May have more info re Annie Shovell - will send this later.

Regards
Jennifer
