HI All,
I am new here and am hoping that you can help me!!
I am researching my Rogers line but have got a bit stuck!
I am looking for a William Rogers.
The info I have is about his son George Rogers born 1820 kirtlington, Married harriett cave in 1844 in Banbury. I have the marriage cert and it states his fathers name as William and his occ as farmer.
Does anyone have access to the parish records for kirtlington who woud be able to do a look up for me or better still is anyone local to kirtlington who could do a quick look round the grave yard to see if there are any clues??
Any help much appreciated!
Thank you
Julia

Hi
Have you found George & Harriett with their children on the Census from 1851 onward, I do'nt want to give you the same info if you have already found it.

Hi there
Oxfordshire FHS seem to have a CD with the Kirtlington parish records for sale - £18. 50 inc postage but they also do a search service for a very small fee. Check out search services on their web site.

Hello Julia,
Could your George have been born before his parent's marriage? On the Oxfordshire FHS Marriage Index there is a marriage at Bletchingdon on 11 November 1824 of a William ROGERS of Kirtlington and an Ann ROGERS. From the marriage records, it certainly looks as if the ROGERS families go back to the mid 18th century in Kirtlington, the earliest being that of a Thomas ROGERS of Kirtlington in 1732 and a William ROGERS in 1744, so investing in the Kirtlington CD could be worth your while.

Hi Jan
Can you find a Caroline Rogers with the same Parents as I think George is with a sister Caroline born 1816 on the 1841 Census
at Tusmore, near Bicester, Oxfordshire.
1851 Census also has a Nephew - Thomas Rogers, Born 1829 at Whitfield, Northamptonshire so there could be a possible Brother somewhere as well

ROGERS of Kirtlington
Julia,
Another avenue for you to explore. If you go to Oxfordshire FHS website, there is a link to "Wills" transcriptions. There are several wills for ROGERS families of Kirtlington and mentions of a William ROGERS of Kirtlington, most of them Yeomen or Farmers - could perhaps be useful to you.

Hi
I think I've found Thomas "the nephew's" mother another Caroline and her Daughters Mary and Sarah in 1841 Census with a Sister in Law Mary Rogers living in Evenly in the same house as George & Harriett Robert's lived in on a later Census.
So I now have as a possible family
Father William Rogers
Mother Unknown
Son - George Rogers
Son - Unknown Rogers
Daughter - Caroline Rogers
Daughter - Mary Rogers
Daughter in Law - Harriett Cove (George's wife)
Daughter in Law - Caroline (last name unknown - Husband unknown Rogers)

Back again - on the same site there is the will of a Thomas ROGERS of Bletchington dated 1828 in which he mentions daughters Ann & Caroline - perhaps relevant to you given the marriage I found of a William ROGERS.

ROGERS family
Sandy, we cross posted. Thomas ROGERS of Bletchington's will mentions his daughter Caroline wife of his son in law Thomas ROGERS - sounds likely doesn't it. Daughter Ann gets nothing because "I have already given her what I deem sufficient" - so there!!
