I've managed to sort out Lucy now, but have another query.

OH and his sis remember an auntie Elsie, apparently sis to Eva. However I have no evidence of an Elsie in this family. There is Alice E, and I suppose it might turn out to be her after all. The only Elsie Rogers born around that time was in Oswestry, and I don't think it's her.

But now we've found a postcard in MIL's stuff. It's a photo of the old Smithy (I've been there, it's a house now). The card was posted in Whitchurch, in 1938, and says
'Dear Eva, just been through the old homestead which is now empty. Just going to see mother's grave. Love Elsie and Will'

So Elsie does appear to be Eva's sis, there is no brother Will so she's not a sis in law.

I have censuses, in 1901, mother Jane was a widow with a blacksmith business, and some of her children were living with her. Jane must have moved to Manchester soon after with some of her daughters, as she remarries the same year a Frederick C Mason. In 1911 they live in Gorton with Lucy. Eva also lives in the Manchester area, having married in 1906.

Can anyone shed any light on where Elsie fits in please?

So I have this Rogers family, they had more children after 1881,

Herbert 1883, Frederick 1886, Emily 1887 and Lucy 1890.

The older sister Eva Jane moved to Manchester, married there and moved to Morecambe.

Now according to MIL, (who was at least vague, and often wrong), the sister Lucy also settled in Morecambe, having married a man surname Leigh, they had a son Norman, who MIL disliked because 'of the way he treated his mother'. Norman married and had a son in about 1951.

I cannot find a marriage for Lucy in freeBMD, well, there is one in Eastry, but that couple have a number of children born around the same time as Norman, 1924.
Nor can I find a death for Lucy which was probably in the late 1950's/early sixties.

So I'm looking for a marriage for Lucy Rogers to Mr Leigh, a marriage for Norman Leigh who had a son about 1951, a death for Lucy Leigh.

Can anyone help please?

Yes oon one census I looked at William was down as Blacksmith employing one man.

It just say sarah 11 female servant and I take it her brother is a blacksmith. Have you got Bennett's then?

I was wondering if Richard was William's brother? Or cousin?

Gooing off now as it's late night all.

Mel

wonder if the Bennetts are nephew and niece? though Mary's maiden name was Davis.

Thanks for your help everyone, I've got some mulling to do now!

Oh well done Carol!!!!

So not anywhere near any of those I posted then?

So would Wem be nearer?

Not sure if this helps but in my tree I have a William Rogers married a Mary Kynaston and they had several children I have a John 1830 Jane 1836 Mary Sarah 1826 and William 1827. According to my 2nd cousins in Wem they had a lot to do with Blacksmiths I think I was told the kynaston's had a Foundry.
Regards Val

PS. All Grandmothers side come from Loppington Wem

Madeley is south of Telford, near Ironbridge.

I don't know the area at all. There are quite a few William Rogers born 1810/11 in Shropshire on IGI.
where is Madley near then please?

Can't seem to find them on the 1841??

Thanks carol.
Mel, William says he was born in Madeley, quite a way from Prees, though I suppose if he wasn't baptised 'til age 1, they might have moved.

I've done those Carol.
