Yes I do appreciate what you have done jonwarrn. And the connection with Richard Rogers that you found my cousin and I must follow the info and see what we can find how in South Africa. If we can find a connection here. There must be something some place.

Thanks a lot for making me aware of the others and that I should not dismiss the possibility that they could be related.

Thanks again

I think one might be going done another Rogers line, with all this about Thomas and Sarah.

I think all of you have done your best to help, lets just put Edward and the rest to bed for the time being.

I am going to try and find decedents of Edwards first lot of children here in South Africa. If any information past down, it should be them that would have received it.

My line comes from the second lot of children, and I remember my Aunt saying she thinks her grandfather was Scottish or possible Welsh. But I think she real did not know where he was born.

There is another two records that I can order from the Pretoria archives.
Both dealing with judicial separation of Edward and Sarah.
Do you think these records are worth getting, will they have useful information on them?

So if Edward WAS born in Shropshire all people mentioned could be relatives and family. For the names are all more or less the same, as mentioned before.
It is a pity I cannot find anything more in South Africa that can help.

Looking at the emigration records for Natal again, I see Richard Rogers stood surety for several people starting in the year 1839. He was a Blacksmith by trade.

Robert Rogers stood surety from 1851, he was a overseer for the company Smith and ?
both lived in Pietermaritzburg

(Did you get anywhere with Robert?)

No I could not find anything for Robert. I looked for earlier passengers lists but they only start from 1858 upwards. So if Robert came to South Africa earlier, maybe he came vie Cape Town

Edward born in Yorkshire, could be wrong. I thought he was born in Shropshire at first. I saw the one in Shropshire and really considered a contender for Edward. Now that you have brought it up, I wonder if it is him?

Something else interesting, on Sarah's emigration application Edward's name and it looks like Richard  Rogers of Pietermaritburg  are there as sureties.

Yes, that was what I was hoping for. But have not found anything. He would be about 28 years old, so he probably would be out on his own. The 1841 census he would about 18, also not at home.

I have told a cousin, that he will have to go to England to find out more about Edward Rogers. Go and hunt down the elusive Edward.

Thanks for trying to help jonwarrn

Yes, jonwarrn, have all the children's baptism, thanks, there were ten children, 4 were born in England and the rest in South Africa.

I was rather disappointed that the couple did not name their children after their parents.
I thought that it was a common practice then. But they were one of the odd couples. So it makes it harder to find the names of the grandparents.
Not one son was named Richard, there was a son named Alfred Edward, for the wife Sarah's father was Edward but then he could have been named after his father. 

Thought Ann Eliza was Sarah's mother's name, but her mother's name turned out to be Susanna. No girl has that name.
Then I thought Hannah Elizabeth was Edward's mother's name, wrong again.
