Distribution of the family name in 1881


- This synopsis was fully revised and updated in March 2014 -

Seeking ancestry of George OSBORNE of Bristol, my 4xGGF (n. c1760-1816) = Ann ROGERS at Bristol St George on 1 Apr 1782 and by whom he had at least 2 children. He then may have married Ann EVANS (the d/o George & Ann EVANS of Bristol) on 1 May 1784 and had a further 13 children. While records open the possibility of an early death for Ann ROGERS and a remarriage to Ann EVANS, this is not supported by a burial for the first Ann. Birth records for children are also consequent, which do not suggest two couples of the same name in the Bristol area after 1784. The strongest possible suggestion that the 2nd marriage may be unrelated is the grandson (by son Dennis OSBORNE) named Dennis Rogers OSBORNE, indicating his grandmother was Ann ROGERS, i.e. all 15 children may be to the same couple, George OSBORNE & Ann ROGERS, and that Ann ROGERS in my 4xGGM. Dennis, the father of Dennis Roger OSBORNE, was born after the time Ann ROGERS could have died and George perhaps remarried Ann EVANS. This issue remains unresolved as the mother's maiden name is not given for the children's baptisms, but the balance of probabilities suggests Ann ROGERS survived without any post-marriage indications for the couple George OSBORNE & Ann EVANS. The synopsis below reflects a single mother for all children.

George's origins are not clear; however, records rule out my 4xGGF as the George OSBORNE of Siston, Gloucestershire (s/o Daniel OSBORNE & Hannah GAY) who was baptised, lived, married, had children and died all in Siston. My 4xGGF may have had Siston origins as the only George OSBORNE supported by records for c1760 is the s/o John OSBOURN (sic) & his wife Rose baptised 1759 in Siston. There are no Bristol records. George's burial record in 1816 provides the c1760 year of birth. This possible line is supported if family tradition provides for George & Ann's first son's name, John.

The children of George OSBORNE & Ann ROGERS (all baptised Bristol) are:

       1. Sarah OSBORNE (c1783). As father is not given, there are 3 possible marriage in the 1806-1808 period to John POOL, Edward HATHAWAY & Isaac BROOKS;
