We know from Thomas's marriage to Elizabeth that his father was William Roskily, a tailor.

I think this is Thomas in census 1851. Note he has a brother named Richard Roskilly, same name as one of his wedding witnesses:

Census 1851:

Address: 24, Marman Street, Saint George In The East, The Tower Hamlets
County: Middlesex

????

It's Roskelly not Roskell on the census image, and Thomas is a tailor, like William's father on his marriage cert.

Census 1861

Address: 12, Barbers Shop, Brick Lane, Whitechapel
County: London

ROSKELL, Thomas Head Married M 21 1840 Tailor St Lukes, Middlesex<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
ROSKELL, Elizabeth Wife Married F 19 1842 Tailoress
Middleton, Lancashire
ROSKELL, Elvina Sister F 11 1850 St Lukes, Middlesex

EDIT: However it looks like this Thomas married Elizabeth Holley, who has the same surname as the Margaret who married Joseph Burt, and their fathers are both silk dyers. I think they are sisters, and according to the census records they were both born in Lancashire

Name: Thomas Roskilly - tailor
Spouse Name: Elizabeth Holley
Spouse Age: 18
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 28 Jan 1861
Parish: Shoreditch St James
Borough: Hackney
Father Name: William Roskilly - tailor
Spouse Father: William Holley - silk dyer
Register Type: Parish Register

Witnesses Richard Roskilly and R[illegible] Roskilly.

I think William Burt Roskilly's parents are Thomas Roskilly, tailor, and Elizabeth Holley.

EDIT: I think this is WIlliam Holley, Silk Dyer in census 1851, with daurs Margaret, who married Joseph Burt, and Elizabeth, who married Thomas Roskilly:

Address: 8, Charles Street, Stepney, Tower Hamlets County: Middlesex

HOLLEY, William Head Married M 32 1819 Silk Dyer Manchester, Lancashire<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
HOLLEY, Jane Wife Married F 39 1812 Dress Maker Manchester, Lancashire
HOLLEY, Margaret Daughter F 12 1839 Scholar Manchester, Lancashire<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

HOLLEY, William Son M 6 1845 Scholar Waterloo Town, Surrey

Kucinta Report 6 Mar 2014 22:45

I think this is the marriage of Uncle Joseph Burt to Margaret:

Name: Joseph Thomas Burt - widower, rope maker
Estimated birth year: abt 1839
Age: 29
Spouse Name: Margaret Holley
Spouse Age: 29
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 31 Aug 1868
Parish: Bethnal Green St Bartholomew
Borough: Tower Hamlets
Father Name: Thomas Burt rope maker<<<<<<<<<<
Spouse Father: Rebecc Holley - silk dyer b[actual forename is hard to read, don't think it's Rebecc]

Now one of the witnesses was an Elizabeth Roskilly.

Purely speculative at this point, but was Elizabeth Roskilly possibly Joseph Burt's sister, wife to Thomas Roskilly and mother to William Burt Roskilly?

EDIT: NO, looks like she was Elizabeth Holley, probably Margaret's sister

With his aunt and uncle in 1891 'Bart' is actually 'Burt' on the image, and William's surname is Russkelly on the image.

Looks like that's where the name Burt came from:

Address: 73, Russell Scott Buildings, Tranton Road, Bermondsey
County: London

BART, Joseph Head Married M 48 1843 Rope Maker
