I've been following this thread with interest but have no connection with the family.

The Baptism Registers from Backwell which are on our site do have these entries:

Baptised 6-Jun1773             Lancelot  ROGERS         son of    Thomas & Jemima

I realise that this date doesn’t fit with the 1783 you mentioned – do you have a later baptism?

Born 10 Mar 1811   Baptised 05-May 1811  Launcelot ROGERS     son          Launcelot & Ann

If you  look at other baptisms on this site you can find the name  DERHAM  used as  a 2nd name for another son of Launcelot & Ann.

On the CD of marriages in Bristol which are available from the Bristol & Avon FHS you can find a marriage of a Launcelot ROGERS with Ann DERHAM in St James Church, Bristol on the 17th Dec 1804.

This seems to support your findings but I haven't seen the original entry for this marriage - there might be some additional information in the register.

Hello all Lancelot Roger 'searchers'!

I have 2 Lancelote Rogers in my tree. - Father and son

I am decsended from Lancelote Rogers and Mary Ann Adams' daughter Hannah (or Anna) (b.1856 Backwell) who married George Kitchen

I have Lancelot b.1811 backwell and the son of Lancelot Rogers b.1783 Backwell and mother Ann Derham.

Does this tally with any other trees?

Kind regards

Chris

Hello Diane,

It would be nice to be able to connect with your branch of Lancelot Rogers. I have been unable to trace a link to both people in the transcripts so I suppose, unless serendipity occurrs, that I will never know who my Lancelot's (1811-1885) ancestors were. At least, with everyone's help and understanding, I have been able to unravel my problem and trace the family to the present day.

regards

Wyndham

Many thanks Debbie for your input but I believe this Lancelot & elizabethHyde are the other lot to mine

Hello Dave & other contributors,

Mystery Solved (I think)

Two Lancelot Rogers both marrying a Mary Ann but a difference in ages of about some 22 years. Lancelot the Ropemaker appears as an Ag. labourer on the 1841 Census but I have not found a connection to him yet.

 My Lancelot was born circa 1811 in Blackwell, an Agricultural Labourer, and married a Mary Ann (Unknown) and had 3 children Thomas (1837), Elizabeth (1839) & Sarah (1840).

Thomas is in my branch and married Louisa Lock in Backwell on 4th April 1858. They had two daughters Adelaide Louisa (1859) & Mary Ann (1860). Mary Ann moved to Penarth, S.Wales where she married into my branch on 22nd. May 1879. If any of this relates to you kind people I will be pleased to correspond further.

Many, many thanks for everyone who took the time and trouble to help me sort out my mess.

As Janet says Ancestry have transcribed the 1851 entry as Rogers but I found it on Find My Past where it is transcribed as the image appears to read as "Rojers".  Sorry, I should have said where I found it.
