Hi,
I was wandering if anyone out there could help with this one. I'm trying to find an ancestor called William Rodger (Goods Carrier), who was born c.1798 in Bothwell, Lanarkshire. His parents were William (a farmer) & Mary (Rodger) ? He died on Sept 29 in 1880 aged 82, at 344 Crown St, Gorbals, Glasgow. He was a widower to Janet Johnston c.1841.
I would love to find out more about him, but can't seem to find out much .
Any ideas ?
Regards,
Daryl

Well here is a possible:
Scottish census
parish Old Monkland Ed15 page 2 line 1320 (I have no idea whether this reference will work - never having even looked at the scottish census before 5 minutes ago) come back if it means nothing!
Wiliam Rodger aged 40 born Lanarkshire
Janet Rodger 30
Janet 9
William 3
James 1
James Mckay 20
All living at Calder Bank Iron Works
that is a starter for 10 unless you already have that info of course Sue

Hi Daryl
Where have you looked, what do you already know and what are you hoping to find ?
According to familysearch William and Janet married in 1831.
Carrying on from Sue's 1841 census above he is also there on the 1851 census on freecen as a widow with children and a lodger.
His parents were William (a farmer) & Mary (Rodger) ?
Have you looked to see if her death is to be found in the OPR's on Scotlandspeople just incase there is any useful information on it ?
scotlandspeoplehub.gov.uk/pdf/list-of-oprs-621to660.pdf has information of available OPR's for Lanark.
Have you or anyone been able to check at The Mitchell to se if any applications for Poor Relief were made ?Chasing Caseys
