Looking for Edward Rogers

[Karytay]

I do not know if I am at the right place, for all it says on the marriage record that Edward Rogers was born in Yorkshire. I see there are three Yorkshire places.
Edward Rogers was born abt. 1823 in Yorkshire , father Richard Rogers. He was married to Sarah Corbett b. abt.1832 in Tipton. They married in 1852 Worcester, at Ribbesford.
He then left England abt. 1859 for South Africa by himself.

Trying to find his parents and siblings.

Thanks

English marriage certificates do not give a place of birth, normally just a place of residence at the time of the marriage

What was his occupation on marriage?

I see we have been here before

The marriage you are referring to was Edwards 2nd marriage in South Africa

Do you have his first marriage

[heywood]

Is it not the one in Kidderminster, 1852?

Sorry - just skimmed thro’ the previous thread - needs closer reading.

[Karytay]

Yes I asked about him before. It is his second marriage in South Africa that has place of birth. And his death notice in South Africa just say England and has his father's name as Richard Rogers. No mother's name. Kidderminster was his first marriage. And I do have it, thanks. On it, it also has Richard Rogers as his father.

What I thought might help, is if I can find immigration/Emigration records for him. They might give a birth date or age. Maybe a place of birth as well.
I have a passanger list for 1859, where it says he is 36. He sailed on the ship "Lady of the Lake" Standing surety for him was a Robert Rogers.

What make this so hard, there are several Richard Rogers in England with son named Edward.

Would Kew Archives be of any help? Is there any where else I can look?

[rosie99]

I doubt you would find anything at Kew without a lot more information.  What was his fathers occupation on the 1852 marriage and who were the witnesses

What was his occupation on marriage?

Edward was a gardener on his first marriage.

[Karytay]

His father was a Blacksmith as well as his wife's father.

Witnesses were Joseph Stokes and Eliza Bewley
