Hello, I have William Rogers baptised (LDS) 6 Nov 1817 with parents James Rogers and Mary Meredith married 25 Dec 1802 Wombourn (LDS).
James being the son of Daniel Rogers and Elizabeth Smith, marriage and births again from LDS.
I have Joseph Corns baptised 14 Oct 1838 Wombourn. (LDS). Age 3 on the 1841 census. Son of Thomas Corns baptised 11 Feb 1810. He married Mary- I did not have her surname-only Mary from childrens baptisms, and census. Looking at the 1841 again, I see a Cox family are next door to the Thomas Corns family....Are these Marys parents?
Your Thomas b 1810 is the brother of Henry Corns, my 3x gt grandfather, so by my working out we share Joseph Corns b 1780 and his wife Elizabeth Meredith, my 4x gt grandparents.
Yes I have those entries for the Rogers ancestors,
I have not researched the ancestors of Joseph Corns as they are not my blood relatives (as far as I know). I have, however, recorded his parents, Thomas Corns and Mary Cox, to help identification with any queries I might be asked. On this occasion I also recorded the mother of Thomas Corns as Elizabeth, since she was easily found together with other family members on the 1851 and 1861 censuses. And yes, I do believe that Joseph Cox and his wife Elizabeth, found on the 1841 census residing next to our Corns family may well be Mary's parents, though I haven't researched it sufficiently to my satisfaction to be certain.
Do you have a burial for my Elizabeth Corns (nee Rogers)?
Incidentally, when Joseph Corns married Elizabeth Rogers she already had a son, George Rogers b 1862 from whom I descend. Of course, Joseph may be the father of George but I have no way of knowing. When Elizabeth died after the birth of her daughter Jane Corns in 1867 Joseph disappears, not to be found anywhere again!! His daughter Mary Corns b 1865, his stepson George Rogers b 1862 and his father Thomas Corns all appear in the Seisdon Union workhouse at Trysull on the 1871 census with the remaining daughter, Jane Corns b 1867 now living with Thomas and Mary Hale at Windmill Bank. I am in touch with a living descendant of Jane Corns, still living at Wombourne, in the same house that her grandparents (James Cox and Jane Corns) raised her up in after the death of her father when she was only two years old.
