Help with Rogers family in Timsbury or Michelmersh

[jmec73]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with a brick wall I've come up against.

My 6 x great-grandparents were Henry Rogers and Sarah Rogers (nee King). Henry was born in Michelmersh in 1804 and died in 1859. Sarah was born in 1808 in Timsbury and died between 1862-65. I've not been able to trace Sarah parents or go back any further down this route.

Henry's parents were William Rogers (1776-1844) and he was born in Timsbury, and his mother was Elizabeth Rogers (1780-1841), also born in Timsbury. I've not been able to find a maiden name for Elizabeth and work back, or parents for William.

Any help on these three areas would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks for any help 
Jon.

Hi Jon,

Blanks all round - I don't seem to be able to find a baptism for either Henry Rogers or Sarah King, nor a marriage for William Rogers to an Elizabeth. 

May I ask where the parishes and dates came from?

Going by Childrens names from a Tree I found this;

Terrible 1851 Census.

Michelmersh, Hampshire
HO107/1671/242/22
SE?? Rogers, 47, born ??, Fingsmebourne
Rogers, 43

Rogers, 7
Rogers, 4

1861 Sarah Rogers is born c 1809 Timsbury. With her is Sarah born c 1844.

I've found them in 1841 in Timsbury

Henry RODGERS 35
Sarah 30
Ann 11
George 8
Frances 6
Charles 3
Emma ? months
all born in County ; next door is Ann KING 55 dairywoman who may be connected.

I found baptisms for the children and the parents' marriage but no baptism for Sarah in Timsbury or Michelmersh.

Considering the possibility that Ann King , next door in 1841 , could be Sarah's mother , there is a baptism 15 Mar 1812 in Romsey , parents William and Ann . The age is adrift , and it's not a late baptism as birthdate was 20 Feb same year , but that's not unusual - one to consider anyway ?

I found a clearer view of the 1851 census in another place :

Henry Rogers 47 pauper , formerly dairyman Michelmersh
Sarah wife 48 Timsbury
George 18
Emma 10
Sarah 7
Mary 4

I went back for another look - and found a George Rogers baptised in Michelmersh in 1804, but the parents were John & Hannah
