Selkirkshire / Re: George RODGER (1760-1834)
« on: Thursday 30 January 14 19:21 GMT (UK) »
Hello to all the Rodger Family researchers. Its been years since I logged into Rootschat but thankfully my user/pass still worked:-)
I was recently in the UK in Scotland mostly research my own kin the Patterson's but while over I met an elderly relative who is quite ill and now lives on the Isle of White. He asked me if I would have a search for his ancestry as he has never known who his Grandfather and other family were and I hesitantly agreed.
My name is Jim Patterson and I am connecting from Vancouver Island Canada. The purpose of my contact is to ask if you or any other researchers happen to hold any information on a William James Rodger who was born abt 1887(location unknown) but was known as James Rodger on his daughters marriage certificate. Wm James Rodger married Sarah Holden Graham 5-Nov-1909 in Hawick, Roxburghshire, Scotland and they had but one known child, Margaret Bell Graham Rodger. William James Rodgers parents were said to be William Rodger and Jane Bowland I believe?
Margaret Bell Graham Rodger was born13 July 1911 at 5 Overhaugh St, Galashiels, Selkirkshire, Scotland. Soon after this birth it seems Wm "James" Rodger and Sarah split up and eventually divorced or William James perhaps died?
Sarah H Rodger Nee Graham remarried Daniel Clark Graham at Newcastle Upon Tyne Bet Oct-Dec 1921 and they had 6 children. Mary, Ruby, Wm, James, Walter abd Jemima or Mima?
Any and all help and suggestions greatly appreciated as this distant cousins father was a Prison Snr Guard at Parkhurst and other hanging jails and on the Burma Trail as a POW in the first world war.
Cheers Jim Patterson

Wigtownshire / Pat(t)erson
« on: Tuesday 30 October 07 23:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,
I am searching for Pat(t)erson's connected with SW Scotland and Newton Stewart, Penninghame, Rerrick, Minnigaff, Blackcraig,Mochrum, Girvan and Dalbeatties areas specifically..
Many of my ancestors were Tailors working the textile industry in and around Newton Stewart and also working as Masons, Miners and Quarry workers.
Our Patersons married into the following example of names in the area from 1749- 1950..
Allan, Adam, McLachlan, Burns, Brown, McClure, Milroy, Heron, Chisholm, Hornel, Kelly, Robertson, Ewart, Jamieson, Welsh and Paterson
The name Paterson seems to have changed from recent times being two T Ts to the distant years when it was written with only one T..
Look forward to connecting with any that might connect in some way:-)
Happy Hunting.
