Kevin,

The marriage records look to be from a church (the same church)and not the typical Delaware reports to the State or licenses. Therefore, they do not report the parents of bride and goom. At leat two stayed in DE as shown below. There is another Rossiter family in the area as well and the marriage record is identical to the form these two were recorded in.


Name: Cecelia L Rossiter
Spouse: Harry P Rose
Marriage Date: 2 Jun 1879
Marriage Place: Wil
Rev H. L. During


Name: Emily J Rossiter
Spouse: John F Robinson
Marriage Date: 14 Oct 1875
Marriage Place: Wil
Rev. L. Marks

All indications are that William Henry moved to Philadelphia (not very far from Wilmington) and married a German girl. Look for him in PA.

Hope is helps. Sorry, there are no typical Delaware Marraige Bonds or Record Book entries for these folks. Perhaps you can determine their church and make contact.
