Hi I noticed on your list the surname Rogers {Stanningley}, I have this name in my family tree for this area. Edith Clara Rogers born 1872, Joshua Rogers born 1845 and Joseph Rogers born 1816. All living in Stanningley {Pudsey}. I have partners and siblings for these. Do you have a list of your  Rogers?

My Rogers/Rodgers are plentiful but the main ones are;
Joseph born abt 1791 In High Green and wife Mary Ann born 1808 in Stanningley, they had 8 children I have found my ancestor was Jonas born abt 1835 in Stanningley. He married Ann Lister? born abt 1835 in Farsley, they had 6 children the three youngest I have info on were: Jonas Lister born abt 1869 in Goole, Edith born 1873 in Stanningley (my great grandma) and Joseph A born abt 1876 in Castleford (where the family moved in the early 1870's).
Alot of my info came from www.calverley.info website which has all census returns free to view for, amongst other areas of Leeds, Stanningley.

Hope this helps,
Rachel

I notice that on the 1851 your Rogers are listed as Rodgers, this happened to my lot when they moved to castleford in the 1870's.
Happy searching.

Rachel,

Apologies, I've only just stumbled across this post. These Rodgers are my ancestors! Jonas Lister Rodgers & Elizabeth Ann (Hammill) are my GG Grandparents.

I have some info on www.martinjourdain.net. It's not that up to date and there may be some mistakes. I have more on www.ancestry.co.uk, which is more up to date, so if you have a subscription I can send you an invite to the tree (I think it's public anyway). Otherwise I can send you a .gedcom file.

Please feel free to contact me, I'll be happy to share what I have.

Regards,

Martin.
