NotesA birth registration was found for George Wilfred Rosser; Year of Registration: 1895; Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep; District: Burton Upon Trent; County: Derbyshire, Staffordshire; Volume: 6b; Page: 450.

In 1901, George Rosser, 5 yeas of age, was residing at 8 Hill Street, Stapenhill, Staffordshire, England. Other family members included: Albert W. Rosser, 18, coal chewer; Elizabeth Rosser, 44; Emma Rosser, 3; Laura E. Rosser, 16, laundress; Lucy Rosser, 11; Matilda Rosser, 12; Percy Rosser, 9; and William Rosser, 46, cooper.

In 1906, George W. Rosser, 11, arrived in Quebec, Canada, with a group of 215 children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

In 1911, George Rosser, 16, is shown as a hired boy with John McClitock and family in Reach, Ontario, Ontario, Canada. His date of birth is shown as July 1895 and his immigration year as 1906. (His sister Emma Rosser, 11, arrived on October 8, 1908, on the Dominion, with Barnardos.)

On June 10, 1915, George W. Rosser enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He declared that he was born in Burton on Trent, England; that his next of kin was Mrs. W. Jarvis, who resided at 117 Wellington Street, Burton on Trent, England; that his date of birth was 1895; that he was a farmer; and that he was not married. He was described as 5 foot 7-1/2 inches in height; fair complexion; blue eyes; and dark hair. He was a member of the Methodist faith.

In August 1922, George Rosser, 25, entered the United States through Buffalo, New York. He declared to the immigration officer that he was an electrician; that his last permanent residence was in Port Perry, Ontario, Canada; that his nearest relative was his sister Grace Rosser, who resided at Vanleer Hill, Ontario, Canada; that his final destination was Chicago, Illinois; that he had visited Chicago before in 1916; that he intended to visit L. L. Cook School, in Chicago, Illinois, for an uncertain period of time; and that he had been born in Port Perry, Ontario, Canada (this is obviously incorrect as this is almost certainly the correct George Rosser.)

On March 28, 1923, in Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between George Wilfred Rosser, 27, electrician, born in Wales, son of Wm Rosser and Elizabeth Morgan Jones; and Vera Isobelle Sommerville, 26, born in Port Perry, Ontario, Canada, daughter of Wellington Sommerville and Mary Rolph. (EDITORS NOTE: Vera resided on a neighboring farm to the McClitocks. Her father took in another Barnardo boy, William Blatch; interestingly Wellington's brother, John, took in William Blatch's brother, Alfred.)
