Joseph Rogers was advertising his house in Swafield on 30 March 1776. I don't have a subscription.

I looked at the wills of Catherine Hardy (nee Rogers, later Pavior) (1834) and her aunt Anne Chambers. Catherine mentions “sums of money due from the executors of her aunt Anne Chambers’ will”. Anne (who was clearly a wealthy woman) doesn’t mention any family members by name in her 1806 will.

This may have been answered in an earlier thread - sorry.

It appears that there was a Rogers family connection with Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire.

An Elizabeth Rogers died in the parish in 1764. The burial is on FindMyPast, apparently with an image. I don’t have a sub, but has this death been discounted?

[PatLac]

I think she probably died later on, otherwise Joseph would have remarried sooner? The one who died in 1777 looks more promising.

[Ili1133]

Yes, I absolutely agree with your logic - but it’s the fact that it’s the Rogers home parish that caught my attention.

[PatLac]

I also agree with your logic, but maybe St Martin's of Laugharne was  a more appropriate church for wealthy families?

[Ili1133]

Yes - I wonder if there has been a survey of the monumental inscriptions inside St Martin’s at Laugharne?

[PatLac]

Let's find out.
