So Charles Rogers as in the brother?

Reckon so. Born 1861 = aged 39 in 1900.

Interesting that Catherine recorded her father as Charles, as Alfred did?

[Lisa_Dee1969]

And Charles as the Father on Alfreds marriage certificate? Don't know what happened or why.

We have the marriage of Sgt John Rogers (12th Lancers) and Jane Anne Keily in Bangalore in 1854.

John Rogers enlisted in the 12th Lancers on 30 June 1847 at Heston. Aged 18, born Windsor circa 1828/9. The 12 Lancers's records show that he volunteered to the Kings Dragoon Guards in February 1860

First child Jane Anne was born 18 June 1855 in Bangalore http://www.9th12thlancersmuseum.org/entity/14208-rogers-john

We've already found the baptisms of the other children including Alfred in 1863.

Two of the children (Alfred and Catherine) name their father as Charles Rogers in their marriage records. So perhaps he was known as Charles.

Im so very grateful for your help Shaun J, there is a rather sorry tale behind all this that I need to find. x

[Lisa_Dee1969]

Hi again Do you think there's anyway I could get hold of their marriage certificate and Army papers?

[Lisa_Dee1969]

How did you find out about his birth and death. Id like to know his parents
 details?

It appears that John Rogers' army papers have not survived - to be expected as he died in service.
