Notes |
- It would appear that Rose Rachel Bull was the illegitimate daughter of Eliza Bull. She was born on 27 April 1876 and Christened on 9 July 1876. She herself had an illegitimate daughter, Lily Alberta Bull in 1896. Rose married Aiden Ignatious Rollett in 1898 but their marriage was turbulent and did not last long. They were still married, but separated, in the 1901 Census. It is reported that Rose had many lovers, one of them being William Davidson. In 1915 Rose gave birth to Ivy Rose Rollett who could well be William Davidson's daughter.
From the 1881 Census (RG11 Piece 1407 Folio 106 Page 8) there was a Rose (Blill) Bull aged 5 at the Bishop's Stortford Union House, Hockerill, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire. She was an inmate and scholar born Bishop's Stortford. Also present was a Mary Bull (which I presume to be Polly), aged 8, also born Bishop's Stortford.
From the 1901 Census (RG13 Piece 3000 Folio 126 Page 26) Rose R Rollet, married, 25, Jute Woman in Lace Factory and from Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, was boarding at 10 Southdown Road, Leicester, Leicestershire, England, the abode of Samuel Haywood, married, 49, Outdoor Porter from Hinckley, Leicestershire. With her were her mother Eliza, 50, from Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, and daughter Lillian A Bull, 5, born Leicester, Leicestershire. Also present were fellow boarders Mary March, married, 32, Spiral Topper Lace from Newry, Ireland, and Francis L Eaton, married, 33, Wicker Basket Maker from Woolwich, Kent.
From the 1911 England Census (RG14PN19196 RG78PN1150B RD407 SD1 ED32 SN222) Rose Rollet, 35, Boot Lace Maker born Bishop Stortford, Hertfordshire, was lodging with Samuel Haywood, married, 68, General Labourer from Hinckley, Leicestershire, at 43 Willow Street, Leicester, Leicestershire, England. With her were her married sister Mary Stirk, married, 38, born Bishop Stortford, Hertfordshire, nieces Florence Stirk, 11, School born Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rose Stirk, under 1 year born Leicester, Leicestershire, and daughter Lily Rollett, 15, Boot Lace Maker born Leicester, Leicestershire.
