There is an Arthur Rogers with date of birth 3rd November 1901 which has also been altered to another date on the 1939 register in Lewisham which could link to a fairground family.
ADDED The date of birth was amended a couple of years later
-
I think that you need to purchase that 1950 marriage certificate in the hope he has named a father.
-
Only 2 births in the Dec qtr 1901 for an Arthur Rogers with no other christian names.
One born Guildford - mmn was Baker
One b Wolstanton mmn was Jones

Hi thank you so much for this information I think it's definitely a good idea to buy the marriage certificate as it will show who Arthur father is I will pass this on to the family
Thanking you Kindly

You mention that he might have been part of a circus family. There is a board on RC called Travellers or travelling people if you scroll right down from the main page.

Just a long shot - there is an item in 1896:
"BOSWELL'S CIRCUS - Manager, Mr. Frank Rogers, jun. - This circus is open for the season in Lytham-road. The company, a powerful one, is the same as last week."
Saturday, July 18, 1896
Publication: The Era
Numerous mentions of Boswell's Circus, they travelled around England from the late 1880s to at least 1910.
