My paternal gg grandmother was Rosa Letitia Vian. I believe she was born in St Peter Port, Guernsey around 1848. On her marriage certificate in 1870 she has stated her fathers name was Henry Vian, a sailmaker. She has also stated he was deceased. Rosa married in Notting Hill, London.
The Priaulx library in Guernsey are having problems finding Rosa. Apparently she was living with an aunt, Elizabeth Davey on the 1861 census. Interestingly there is an Anthony Vian lodging with Elizabeth Davey on the 1881 census. Rosa named her third son Anthony. I am trying to find out more about Rosa's parents and would love to hear from any one who has a Guernsey connection or recognises any of these names.
I wait in hope!!
