England / Re: Adoption in 1887

It's four years since this thread was used, but I'd be happy to share info I have on Emma Hawes (the one who married my G*2-grandfather Robert Hoing).  It might also help me.  Anyone still interested?

This is a reply to the note posted by Firstome on 17 April 2009!

I have just noticed your comments about Elisha Ing, born in Haddenham in 1659.  I'm writing because he also appears on my tree, although I'm not too convinced about some of the people in-between!

My tree shows Elisha married to Jane Stephens.  They had a son Joseph (b. 1683), who had a son George (or grandson?) b. 1743.  George had a daughter Sarah (b. 1771), who married Thomas Herridge in 1792.  Sarah and Thomas are my Gx3-grandparents on my father's side.  Have I got my facts right?  And do you have any more detail on the Ings? - all I really know about them is that their births and deaths were all registered in West Wycombe.   

Co-incidentally, there are Stones on my mother's side, and her last job before retirement was working for Mr Ercolani at Ercol!

I hope you are well.

Dear Beth,
Thanks for all this fascinating information.  I'm becoming aware that I'm talking to someone who must have spent a lot of time, and a lot of effort (and probably a bit of money) researching and gathering so much info about the Rogers family, and so I feel a little uneasy trying to pick your brains with the 101 questions I might like to ask!

But I hope you'll let me ask two more questions specifically about my grandpa Ted: firstly, you mention Nellie Harvey's reminiscences about Brook Street in the 1920's, I wonder whether there are any interesting references to Ted and Hilda's marriage in August 1924?  Secondly, as I've said before I knew many of Hilda's siblings well, but I don't recall any mention, ever, of any of Ted's - as far as I was concerned he might as well have been an only child.  And yet I knew him quite well - even stayed with him for a month in 1970 shortly before he died.  So I wonder whether you're aware of him distancing himself from the family for some reason, or perhaps the family distanced itself from him, or perhaps by the 1960's he was the sole surviving sibling?
Best wishes, Graham

But a fascinating website.

Beth, thanks for your earlier reply about our great-grandparents George & Elizabeth.  The name of Ann Edgeworth opened up a whole new line of investigation for me, wondering how a girl from Bibury met and married a man in Stokenchurch.  But then I found that her father John Edgeworth married a Maria Rogers...

Lrog, welcome to another g-g-child of George & Elizabeth! So now I learn that one of my grandfather Ted's brothers was Leonard.  Does either of you know if Lance Corporal George Edward Rogers (1887-1915) of 28 Brook St HW was also a brother?  He is remembered on the War Memorial at HW Hospital.  Thanks,

Hello Beth, thanks for your reply.
Obviously I knew Edward well, and you're right, he worked in the furniture factories, and lived in HW until he died.  But strangely I don't recall meeting any of his brothers or sisters, although I knew many of his wife Hilda's siblings.

Do you know much about Elizabeth Bradley?

Patannk - just seen this thread.  I have information that is not entirely convincing, that my grandfather Edward (b. 1898) was the son of George Rogers, b. Stokenchurch 1860-61, possibly married Elizabeth Bradbury 1880.  Have you come across these names?  Thanks

[Hi Ann,
I am also related to James and Elizabeth Colman, through their daughter Hannah who married William Bates, and their son Owen, who married Lydia Hoing.
