Hi,

Sarah       "        W 40                           Stockport
Elizabeth   "       D   16                          Openshaw
John            "     S    13                                 "
Marian       "       D     9                          Pallion Durham

Hi KR,

He is listed as Thomas but I am sure it is the right family:

Lister Street, Pallion, Bishop Wearmouth, Durham
RG10/5002 folio 56 page 27

Thomas Rogers, Head, M, 34, Engine Fitter, Lancashire Manchester
Sarah, Wife, M, 30, Stockport Cheshire
Mary, Daur, 9, Lancashire Clayton
Elizabeth, Daur, 6, Lancashire Ardwick
John, Son, 3, Openshaw
Sarah, Daur, 1, Openshaw

Regards,
Mo
