Hi,
I'm having trouble finding a marriage for the following
Silvester Rogers (b. 1786) to Arabella ? on or around 1806 in Carlton Scroop, Grantham, Linc.
Arabella died 1836 so doesn't appear on any census records. She is recorded with no surname on birth index's of her children. Would like to know what her surname is. I have ordered a death certificate on one of her children, Louis Silvester Rogers which may help but cant seem to find a marriage in any of the indexes for her.
Sorry I don't have much more info.
Any help is appreciated. :)

FreeREG have the transcription of Carlton Scroop registers - there is no marriage for Silvester Rogers listed.
All Saints, Hougham - 22 October 1809 - Silvester Rogers, Bachelor, of Grantham and Arabella Scoffin, Spinster, otp. Witnesses: Robert Scoffin and Christ'r A....field.
-
From FreeREG again - is this Silvester's baptism?
St Nicholas, Carlton Scroop - 29 August 1784 - Silvester, son of Silvester and Elizabeth Rogers.
There appear to be a number of children, baptised in Grantham for Silvester and Arabella.

Thanks so much Bumble B and Trish 1120 ;D This is huge help and indeed this is my Silvester and Arabella. Given that Silvester lived and died in Carlton Scroop I assumed the marriage took place there but I should have heeded my own rule - never assume anything when it comes to family history ;D Another brick wall taken down.

Thanks for filling in a few details on my Rogers line. My records have Sylvester Rogers Snr marrying Elizabeth Farmer (b. 1759 Hougham, d. 1845 Grantham). Sylvester Rogers Jnr made the move into Grantham and became established as an ironmonger before becoming Mayor twice. He was also a fire insurance agent. His premises are still visible at the back of the Angel and Royal Hotel. At my last count he had 14 children with Arabella.

I haven't looked at this line of my family for some time but I recall problems sorting it out because there was another (spare) Sylvester Rogers who I couldn't connect in. I think you are referring to him. The dates would work though I need to recheck the birth date of the Sylvester that married Arabella because I have it as 1776. Somewhere I have a list of the Rogers written by my ggg grandmother, who was a granddaughter of Sylvester/Arabella, and this may shed a bit more light on it. Or not!

I have checked back on my gggrandmothers notes on her family and she starts with Sylvester Rogers (Jnr). She lists all his and Ann's children including her father George and then goes on to list all her siblings. Each name has who they married and any children. Not quite what we were looking for but it may help someone out there!
She has also listed her maternal grandfather's children. He was Kensington Lewis who was a well-known London silver retailer in the 1820s and 1830s.
