Hi Artella
I have had a look for you but it is hard to discover anyone you want to know about. I couldnt find a William Rodger/Rogers born around Huddersfield so cant help you there. I did find a Ann Murphy born in 1816 in Mayo, Ireland but by 1881 she is living in Liverpool as a Housekeeper/ a widow aged 65. There are quite a few Ann Murphys born around her time but non of them from Mayo apart from the one I just mentioned. Liverpool would be a port the ships would come over from the US would stop at and there was and is a high proportion of Irish people living there.
You need to get someones certificate to find out about them more, but which one I dont know. As you might know the certificates only start from 1837 so you might need a Church to find out the marriage of William and Ann and that might give you a little more info but otherwise I cant help you.
Hope you find your family
