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.
