hi all

i'm getting a bit confused by the census' for my rogers family. i know that John Rogers was born in Rotherfield sussex around 1850. but i can't find him on 51 or 61 census with parents there are none that fit. then in 71 he is married to jane with son thomas. his wife is correct but my thomas wasn't born until 1874 in which case where is my john?! i have them on 81 census but now there are two thomas john sarah familys all born rotherfield or buxton in sussex. can someone help me sort this jumbled mess please?!

ok now i have found a john rogers brn rotherfield sussex in 1861 with family including a frances flora which is what he named his second daughter. but this one is born in 1843 so age on other census is out.

You need to start with the person whose info you know to be 100% correct.

What relation to you is John Rogers?

Reg

I think you might need to start from say like where you come fro & work back again if you see what i mean lol

Julie

PS..i was trying to say what Reggie has lol

well that's the trouble its my great grandfather George Albert Rogers brn charlwood surrey 1898.

on 1901 his father is thomas brn abt.1875 in East Grinstead.

i think i have him on 1881 with parents John and sarah aged 6. but can't find him on 1891.

so i know my great Grandfathers info is 100%. my grandmother knows his mothers name was emily and he was born charlwood so definately him in 1901 with parents thomas and emily.

John is my ggg grandfather.

So its from the 1901 backwards that you need

Your great grandfather was George Albert Rogers
His dad was Thomas & mum was Emily

Have i read that right

When did Thomas & Emily marry

yes. mother Emily K (nee Williams)
Father Thomas John Rogers.

George Albert Rogers aged 3
thomas c rogers aged 1.

thanks. i think i have found thomas now on 1891 and 1881 with parents. i couldn't find him in 1891 because he is down as thos. john.

If that is your Thomas in 1881 then.

1891 census
John Edwd Rogers 1851 Rotherfield.occ ag.lab.
Sarah Gain rogers wife 1853 Rotherfield.
Thos John Rogers son 1877 East Grinstead general lab.
Mary Alice Rogers 1883 Burstow.
Frances F Emily Rogers 1886 Burstow

address Chapel cottages Burstow

This must be the one you found in 1861.

I have looked at the image and there is a thick line through the age, but it could well be 10.

Sue

have a look at Sussexweald site - I know there is info on Rotherfield on there. You might find info on parish records on the family around 1851.

Sussexweald info - which seems to match the 1861 census above:

http://www.sussexweald.org/N10.asp?NId=5312734

gives a family tree on there and I'm sure there are lots of other bits of info too.

Margaret that first reference of yours fits with the tree on Sussexweald - looks like his mother was Frances Midmore.

Also the second reference looks as if it matches too.
