Written Rovenden. Presumably a variant of Rolvenden.

In researching your VIDLER family, this might be useful -

The Kiama Independent and Shoalhaven Examiner 1 Jun 1895 p2
http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/100866435?
..obituary for...... Edwin VIDLER, the youngest of a family of five brothers, all of whom, beginning with the eldest, William have successively passed away within the last ten or
twelve years.......brother Stephen......

There is also a half-brother much younger than any of the others............

BDM NSW death
2249/1856  VIDLER William  parents UKN / UKN    @ Kiama

This is possibly the death of father William VIDLER, arr. 1838 "Maitland", so a half-brother (if born NSW) would be born 1838 to 1856?
