Rosalie Anne Roscoe - Victoria, Australia

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Vanessa Report 29 Dec 2011 18:16

I am trying to find my 2nd cousin, Rosalie Anne Roscoe who would most likely be in her 70's now. Her parents were Albert William Roscoe and Kathleen (Kit) Minnie Langley. Her grand mother Kate Langley (nee Avenell) and my grandfather William Thoma Avenell were siblings, both were born in Surrey Enngland before the family migrated to Australia. I also believe that Roalie attended Camberwell High School making the Alumni list in 1958 and may have married a gentleman by the name of Hokin. I would dearly love to make contact with anyone who may know this lady or who is related to her. i would like to know more about my fathers branch of the family and to meet anyone who is related.

Many thanks in anticipation for any assistance that anyone can afford me.

Regards
Vanessa Wright (nee Avenell)

TonyOz,

Thank you ever so much for that, I noticed that I did not put in an approx year of birth for Rosalie (c1940). I will look up the white pages for the phone numbers and give them a call as it is an unusual surname. The only reason I have the surname is I googled her name and it came up on the Camberwell High School Alumni List. I have now also discovered they had a daughter who attended the same school.

Again thank you for your assistance

Regards
Vanessa

Hi Tony, I just noted that you have the name Copley in your list of names that you are researching .. this is interesting to me as my grandmother was a Copley from SusseX/Surrey area of England ... intriguing to say the least as it is not that common a name.

Vanessa

My grandmother was also a Copley.

I am going to Inverlock, Victoria meet them all in two weeks. I am so excited to finally meet and family members from my Fathers side of the family tree. We will be sharing family stories and history.

Again many thanks for all your input and assistance.

UPDATE............

Meet up with my Cousins Rosalie Hokin, Susan Hall and Kathleen Wright (all nee Roscoe) Had an amazing weekend with them swapping family history and stories, marvelling at so many of the similarities between the family members.

I would like to thank all who assisted me once again, for without your help I would not have found them.

Regards
Vanessa
