I publish Ray's findings below, as a temporary measure. His additions are in red. You can compare them to earlier posts on the Roscoe pedigree.
I'll move them over later with the other family pages to a new section for the family's genealogy, which will make it easier to follow the material as it comes in.
Interesting points include
- James's wife, who before her marriage is referred to throughout the family correspondence as Jane Douglas, was Jane Douglas MacGibbon

This is a fabulously well researched piece of writing that from it’s depth I can only imagine must have been quite some time in its research and writing. In many ways this book is more than a detailed history of the Roscoe family in so much that it’s an engaging snapshot of life in Liverpool (and indeed the UK as a whole) in a time of great social and economic upheaval.
ReplyDeleteThe Roscoe name is one that has left its legacy in many forms in and around the great City of Liverpool. Like many others I suspect, I was vaguely aware of the name as having some sort of watermark of achievement and distinction, of having some significant role in Liverpool life and culture, but the details were (to my embarrassment now) somewhat fuzzy and undefined.
This book clarifies clearly the role in civic and political society that the Roscoe family (in particular William Roscoe) played. It’s a wonderful account of the role of one of Liverpool’s great families and plays a great role in marking the role of The Roscoes (in particular William) in Liverpool history. In William Roscoes case, when your contribution to the abolition of slavery is just one of the significant marks you’ve left upon the world, then it’s quite a life you’ve led and that life is documented thoroughly and entertainingly in this very detailed but at the same time colorful work.
