I can find no positive records on Ancestry.com of the family
before the 1871 census. In 1851 and 1861, because of John's[1] job
as a railway labourer the family could have been anywhere in the
country where there was a railway. Railway navvies often lived in
unruly shanty towns where officialdom only had a tenuous hold.
There are several John Roose's in Derbyshire who unfortunately
cannot be positively linked to ours, beware of false trails.
The following positively linked census records were found by
working backwards from the address in Hulme, and birthplaces.
N.B. Codnor Park, next to Riddings village, is 2 miles east of
Ripley, Derbs, 10 miles NNE of Derby
These records start with a widowed father John[1], born in
Ashover Derbyshire about 1832, and his two grown-up two sons. The
eldest, John[2] was born about 1849 not too far away in Codnor
Park, Nottinghamshire, which was at the time a very industrial
area close to collieries, ironworks, brickworks and recently
constructed railways. The second child, Thomas, was born in
far away Winchester around 1851, where John[1] aged only 19, was a
railway labourer. At that time the only railway in the area was
the L&SWR, which as far as I can find out didn't have any
major lines under construction near Winchester other than the
Farnham to Alton branch, which opened in 1852.
For just short of 20 years we lose track of them.
In 1871 the now widowed John[1] and his two sons were lodging in Westmorland as railway labourers, probably in the construction of the Hincaster Branch of the Furness Railway. The act for the branch was obtained in 1867, it was authorised to begin in 1870, and completed in 1876. The busiest days of railway civil engineering were past, but soon the Midland Railway would commence work on the nearby Settle- Carlisle line.
Nevertheless John[2] (junior) fancied a change of lifestyle from
railway labouring, and by 1881 we find him as a Police Constable
in Hulme, less than a mile to the south of Manchester city centre,
where he had been since at least the time of the birth of his
daughter Florence 13 Jan 1877. By 1874 he had parted from his
father and brother and married, in Manchester, Elizabeth Jane
Walker ca1843-1914, (she was evasive about her age) from
Macclesfield. There he remained in the police force for at least
the next 30 years.
His son John[3] was listed as a musician in 1901 and in 1911.

Inside the cover there is a printed label :-
"John Roose, 4 Welcombe Street, Hulme, Manchester"
It contains 1120 tunes, very neat.
The hand is consistent throughout the MS, and undoubtedly written
by one person. Although many of the tunes would not seem out of
place in the 1820s, including many quadrilles, nevertheless Tune
#867 is inscribed as "Jenny Lind's Quadrilles Sett, No.3
Pantalon, by J.D.Sanders", so it can hardly have been inscribed
into the MS much before 1850.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Lind
On the other hand I have not yet found anything positively
dateable to later than 1850, either by title or content. No polkas
by name that are not part of quadrille sets, and no schottisches,
which became the rage soon after 1850.
In 1850, John [1], railway labourer born in Ashover, Derbyshire,
was only 17 and already had just had one child born in Derbyshire
with another on the way to being born in Winchester, so though
just possible, it seems unlikely that he would have had the time
or the settled circumstances in which to compile a MS of this
size.
John [2], the railway labourer's Derbyshire born son turned
Manchester police constable, had only just been born, so he
definitely didn't write it.
John [3] was a professional musician born in 1879.
Therefore I would guess that the manuscript was compiled
by an unknown author not far either side of 1850, and acquired by
John Roose [3] either from a relative or some other unknowable
source.
