ROGER/RODGER,JOHN c1751-1835

[ajjbc]

I am seeking further info to my research of JOHN ROGER born c1751 and died 1835 in Kilconquhar,Fife.
He was married to MARGARET FORBES born c1755 and died in 1836 in Kilconquhar.
Name of cemetery would be great.
This couple was married in Leuchars,Fife in 1780.
I have 7 known children,with associated surnames of :BRUCE,MILLER and KEY/KAY(?)
Knowing that they were married in Leuchars leads me to believe that Margaret Forbes was probably from that area.
Using the children's names and order of birth...it is possible that Margaret's parents could have been:Alexander,Catherine,Margaret.
John's parents could have been James,Harriet,Catherine.
Does this family ring a bell with anyone?
Any info. very much appreciated.

I have been trying to find a David Rodger/s born 1852/5(keeps changing his age on census) possibly Kerrimuir his father was also David a Miller by occupation there was also a brother Peter born about 1860.  David and Peter came to Jarrow Co Durham by 1880 but I can't connect them together in my Scotland search.   Regards June

Hi ajjbc

I saw your request on Friday just as I was leaving to go to Kilconquhar.
Had a walk around the graveyard there didn't find your grave but there was 3 for Rodger as follows. The present church was built around 1820's after the Church of Kinneurhar was taken down in 1821.There was quite a few graves from the 1830's but sad to say some have broken and some are unreadable. I hope some these stones may help?

Hi again. Are you sure about the Marriage in Leuchars?

There is a marriage in the kilconquhars records for a marriage between a Margaret Forbis and a John Rodger on 2 Jun 1780.
The fathers name was John and mothers maiden name of Webster!!
There were quite a few stones for Forbis in the church yard - sorry didn't write them down . Will do it next time !!

Sheila.
