I am Looking for any information on Robert Reginald Richmond Rose.
Robert Reginald Richmond Rose is a mystery which I would love to solve. His name was Robert Reginald Richmond Rose, and he married Ann Waters (1774 - 1853) on 23 December 1800 at Mt Orgueil Castle, Jersey. I have neither found birth or death details for Robert Rose, although in General Don's Muster of 1815 on Jersey, a Richmond Rose is listed, aged 51. That would make his birth around 1764, and we've seen a possibility that he may have come from Bath, but we don't know if he was born there. At St Nicholas' Church, Plumstead, marriage banns for Robert Reginald Richmond Rose and Maria Todd were called in 1799, but only once. We wondered if the Pelican was unexpectedly called away.
He held the position of purser on the Pelican and also worked on Resource and La Sardine, all from 1799 - 1806. In the London Gazette for 1809, there is an entry for him giving his title of Assistant Barrack Master. Four more children were to be born on Jersey after this. We also wonder about the name "Paton" given to his eldest son Richmond Paton Rose. Was this his mother's maiden name?
