Then again, Thomas and Mary Rogers in Natal had a daughter Sarah Ann, born 20 September 1860, baptised in 1861

I think I'm going to leave it there!

Got a baptism for Sarah Ann Rogers in Birkenhead, 18 October 1857.
Thomas a Plasterer.
Can't read the exact place of abode in Birkenhead.

Didn't realise, Oxton is so close to Birkenhead, must be virtually a suburb today.

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.

Hi
Well I do wish you good luck with your search for Edward Rogers.
I do think however that it may be difficult to find someone else who ticks so many boxes as the Edward from Smethcott.
The purpose of the other info was to find out about, and establish what happened to, the other members of the family of Richard Rogers, the blacksmith of Smethcott. Particularly since they included a son Robert. And as some seem to disappear from records in England quite early on, did they die here or did they emigrate somewhere, possibly to South Africa.

I agree with you jon. As i wrote before you have worked really hard to help here by going sideways etc as we do.
I am sure it is appreciated by Karytay and the cousin.
Hopefully they will find out more in other records.

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
