Rogers - Gwithian
James ROGERS and wife Ann were the parents of Ann ROGERS baptised 15 August 1819 in Gwithian and this child named Ann ROGERS married James Bray PASCOE in Gwithian Cornwall. Later Ann PASCOE nee ROGERS emigrated to South Australia where Ann PASCOE neeROGERS died. However you also may be descended from one of Ann's siblings. I expect that some remained in Cornwall. Some of the following are thought to be siblings of Ann PASCOE nee ROGERS namely the children of James ROGERS and his wife Ann, those children are possibly named: Sophia ROGERS baptised on 1 Feb 1825 in Gwithian George ROGERS baptised 8 Aug 1802 in Gwithian, and another George ROGERS baptised 30 Oct 1803 Elizabeth ROGERS baptised 3 March 1822 Catherine ROGERS baptised 3 August 1817 James ROGERS baptised 3 December 1815 Josepha ROGERS baptised 17 June 1827? The above children are purely genealogical speculation so if i am wrong please be forgiving - i know i am fishing on this one and just hope to locate someone in Cornwall related to Ann PASCOE nee BRAY through a descendant please.
