Find Ancestors

Well I'll check the North Shields parish registers tomorrow. Fingers crossed I'll find them! Thanks again for all your help.

just had a quick look at the marriages on the Durham site & couldn't find anything fitting Rogers/Rodgers in the 1850's so you are probably looking at Northumberland... it wasn't in the Newcastle on-line indexes either though! (They really only cover central areas around Newcastle, my Cramlington ones aren't in there) Wonder if we are talking about one that didn't quite make the GRO?

Oh definitely! I just hope I do eventually find the marriage in the parish registers here, but I'm beginning to think perhaps they married in Durham. If they did... well I'm not going to be able to find anything at all!

That would make much more sense Vicky!

The others I checked out for 1861 don't look v. likely. Looks like you have to keep an open mind about the Rogers/Rodgers spelling then!

Wonder if Percy Myrne should be Percy Main - and its somewhere in the North Shields area? (Sorry don't know the area v well.)

It looks like that is the family in 1861! Thank you. So they married between 1851 and 1854 and Mary is from Percy Mryne, where ever that is! Thank you all so much you have no idea how much time you have saved me!

1851 Charles Banks abt 1823 North Shields, Northumberland, England Lodger Bedlington Northumberland Jane Rogers abt 1789 Bedlington, Northumberland, England Wife Bedlington Northumberland John Rogers abt 1791 Holywell, Northumberland, England Head Bedlington Northumberland Robert Rogers abt 1831 Bedlington, Northumberland, England Son Bedlington Northumberland William Rogers abt 1826 Bedlington, Northumberland, England

Ah those 1851 census returns do match the baptism I found! Robert son of John and Jane, John listed as a Butcher in the baptism :) Thats wonderful, so I know he married after 1851.

I noticed a couple of other possibles, will check them out & get back.

I have to say I don't, it wasn't given to me! As I say I've been asked to find a marriage in the parish records and the information I have is quite scant! I've just checked the 1881 census and he's listed as Robert Rodgers so perhaps I've been looking for the wrong person! But this is the family in 1881 Robert RODGERS Head M Male 50 Bedlington, Northumberland, England Coal Miner Mary RODGERS Wife M Female 49 Wallsend, Northumberland, England William RODGERS Son U Male 24 Lanchester, Durham, England Coal Miner Thomas RODGERS Son Male 16 Lanchester, Durham, England Coal Miner Robert RODGERS Son Male 8 Lanchester, Durham, England Scholar I do have a baptism in Bedlington parish chruch in 1831 for a Robert Rogers so looks like I need to look under several spellings!

probably a daft question given the area, do you know his occupation? I think I have 1861, wait a mo while I post.

I need another lookup to help me with lookups I'm trying to do. Need to narrow down the time frame otherwise I've got about 20 years of parish records to trawl through for several different parishes! I'm looking for Robert Rogers b 1831 in Bedlington, Northumberland. At some point he marries Mary b abt 1832 in Wallsend. If anyone can find Robert in the 1851 and 1861 census returns and let me know if he's married and where he's living it would help me enourmously! Thank you!
