Elizabeth Rogers was born September 1902 and was the daughter of Robert Rogers and Elizabeth Robinson
Her parents were on the 1901 census for South Shields i but then I believe moved to Scotland and a lot of the children were born in Hamilton. I have been unable to trace on Scotlands People or in England when I applied for certificate in 1902 they were not my connection.
On Family search site her marriage is listed and her birth date but no place of birth
Can anyone help
Thanks

Hi have you tried any variations on the name. if not put in rog**** this a wild card spelling you should get your person good luck.

Hi Isobel
Have you discounted the English birth entries showing on FreeBMD. For example:
Births Sep 1901
Rogers Elizabeth S.Shields 10a 847
Births Dec 1901
ROGERS Elizabeth S. Shields 10a 839
On Scotlands People, there are only two possible birth entries between 1901-4 in Hamilton:
1901 RODGER ELIZABETH CROSS F HAMILTON /LANARK 647/00 0388
1902 ROGERS KATHLEEN ELIZAB F HAMILTON /LANARK 647/00 1150
Was either of these the one you have already discounted?
Regards.

The English ones I had got checked out but are not my connection.
With regards to the Scotland People neither of these Hamilton ones came up for me
How did you manage it

Hi Isobel
As suggested by djcrtoye, always good to search using wildcards. I searched for El* Ro*g*r* and ticked the box under the first name section to pick up on any other first names.
There were more births in 1905 and 6 but I didn't include them on my post given that Elizabeth married in 1923 and I've assumed you have been able to verify her age from her marriage cert to around 1902.
Fingers crossed you find her details.
Regards.

That a pity. There are too many births showing in Scotland in those years of Elizabeths for you to go searching (20 in Lanarkshire alone). I had hoped you would be able to pinpoint her birth to Hamilton from the info you had for the family.
The release of the 1911 census seems soooo far away still....
