Looking for relatives , or information on: -
Hilda Elizabeth Rogers born 1895
Frederick Thomas Rogers born 1901
Rhoda Rogers born 1905
Edward Rogers born 1907

These are my great uncles and aunties, their other sibling, Fanny Kate Rogers, born 1903, died 1972 is my grandmother. One of the above siblings could well have immigrated to New Zealand, probably Hilda or Rhoda, but cannot trace any records. Any info would be great fully received.

Thank you

Mark

UPdate on previous message:

My uncle, James Vincent Patterson, b 1934, d 1959, immigrated to New Zealand in 1958. Unfortunately for him, he was killed in a work accident just a year later. I have a letter from my grandmother (Fanny Kate Rogers) sent to my mum, Mary Kathleen Patterson, b 1928, d 2004 informing my mum of her brothers death in 1959. In the letter my grandmother refers to "Auntie" will arrange the funeral and send his personal belongings home. The "Auntie" would be one of my great-auntie's listed on previous message; this if it is on my grandmothers side. If cannot confirm if it was Hilda or Rhoda Rogers, will start searching my grandfathers side.

Thanks again

Which records have you accessed in trying to trace these people?

Where was each of them born?

This is obviously linked to your Patterson posts. I hope there is no duplication in your request

Hi Reggie, yes this is linked to my Patterson posts, Rogers is my grandmothers maiden name, and no, there are no duplicates. Just trying to find out which one of my great aunts immigrated to New Zealand to see if I can trace any relatives living there. And thank you again you all your wonderful input.

And Julie, yes Reggie has been a great help to me in my searches!!!!

The records would suggest that none of your great aunts emigrated, unless the info I found relates to other ladies with the same details

An 'aunt' could be the wife of an uncle.

Julie

Thank you for the kind words - it's been a long time since I was last on GR

And isn't it quiet now!!!!
