There is a large Rosevear family in Cornwall, and I believe our family originally came from there, but the ones I wish to concentrate on lived in Plymouth, Devon.
William Rosevear (1812) married Matilda Alger (daughter of Grace Alger 1781-1863) in 1838 and they lived in Devonport, Plymouth, Devon. Their son John, born in 1842 went on to become a cabinet maker. In 1871 John married Mary, who had been born in Holsworthy, Devon and was six years younger than he was, being 23 at the time of the marriage.
John and Mary names one of their daughters Matilda, after John's mother. Matilda Jane Rosevear was born in 1872 in Tavistock, Devon.
Matilda Jane Rosevear married Henry Hobart McGowan, who had been born in Adelaide Cottages, East Stonehouse, Plymouth in 1872. They had six children who survived to adulthood: Rosina Matilda (1895), Henry Hobart (1898), James Joseph Rosevear (1903) and John William Henry (1896), Mary Ann Rosevear (1907), Lilian Josephine (1909). Two of their children (possibly Frederick Albert G 1895 and Alfred JAmes 1902 died in infancy).
James went on to marry Beatrice Elexandra V.M. Frude (1901). James died in 1966 and Beatrice died in 1985. Over the course of the marriage they had thirteen children and 44 grandchildren.
