Harmer Rogers c1753

[petey22]

I have now also checked for other possible offspring of Joseph and Elizabeth:
i. Elizabeth Rogers, bap 19-05-1751, Old Meeting (Independent) Norwich
ii. Katherine Rogers, bap 16-08-1752, St Andrew, Norwich
iii. John Rogers, bap 05-11-1753, St Andrew, Norwich
iv. Richard Rogers, bap 08-10-1754, St Andrew, Norwich
v. Diana Anna Rogers, bap 30-11-1755, St Giles, Norwich
vi. Joseph Rogers, bap 16-01-1756/7, St Giles, Norwich
vii. Susanna Elizabeth Rogers, bap 27-08-1760, St Andrew, Norwich
  ( Susanna Elizabeth Rogers, burial 30-08-1760, St Andrew, Norwich)

i. Curious that the baptism takes place in an Old meeting house (Independent) .The actual baptism entry reads: ' Elizabeth daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Rogers (of Wrentham) bap 19-05-1753. Wrentham being just accoss the border in Suffolk 

v and vi. Not so sure, why the sudden move to another Church? St. Anrew doesnt look very far from St. Giles.

vii. I believe that Susanna and Elizabeth are one daughter with a double name, at least it looks that way on the actual baptism register with what looks like an Elizabeth being added between and above Susanna Rogers with an upside down v below between and below.

Please, did we manage to confirm that Diana Anna c 1755 and Joseph c1756/7 both baptized at St. Giles, Norwich were actually of the same family?

[Ili1133]

Diana Ann born November [no date], bapt 30 Nov 1755, dau of Mr Joseph Rogers and Elizabeth his wife

Joseph born 16 January 1757, baptised the same day, son of Joseph and Elizabeth Rogers

It looks as if both St Giles and St Andrew were functioning at the time. They are about a kilometre apart. If Joseph (and maybe Diana) were sickly babies who needed an immediate baptism, St Giles might have been closer to the family home.
