William Rossiter

Abt 1817 - 1891  (~ 74 years)

  William's headstone says he was 74 when he died in 1891, therefore he was born about 1817.
  Gender	Male
  Voter	1855 - 1859	Caplin Bay, Newfoundland   [2]
  Residence	1871	Caplin Bay, Newfoundland   [3]
  Died	24 Feb 1891	Caplin Bay, Newfoundland   [4]

  It appears that Luke Rossiter, who had immigrated to the US, had headstones erected for his parents and some of his siblings. This is a broken headstone, with missing sections. I suspect that Luke's mother, Bridget (d.1899) may be inscribed on a missing part (Kevin Reddigan).
