Well Louisa was my G-grandmothers sister, so as you can see from the other posts there are quite a few that go back to Thomas Rogers. All the places named can just about be seen from any high spot in the area, a 10 mile circle around Ross on Wye would take in most of the parishes where Rogers and associated families lived, and I live within that circle still.
Gwillim was definately Jane's surname, the people above have all added branches to the tree. Do you know Liz and Wayne Margetts, they live in Salt Lake City, and I promised to visit, they came here about 4 years ago. I will have to get in touch again.
I actually informed them of reletives that lived 20 minutes from them in the US, and they didn't know. And the Ohio family were not really known. There were Ennis, Smith, Meek of course, who all headed to the US from around Ross on Wye.
I have photos of the Jackson Allens, he was the one killed by a bull?
.
As you will see the family have spread out in the US. We all have plenty of info to share. I've let things slide for about a year, maybe you will make me start finishing things off. I can send you certificate images and census pages with details, photos of where the family lived.
cheers Fred
