Descendants of

Thomas & Elizabeth Rogerson

of Wooler and Kirkwhelpington, Northumberland,

England 

*

It appears that our ancestor Thomas Rogerson was married twice.

These are the details of his first marriage. As yet the evidence is circumstantial

 and by placing the information here we hope that someone may be able to help us either

 prove or disprove the connection! Thank you!  J

homas Rogerson’s marriage to Elizabeth has not yet been located but would have been about 1804/05. Elizabeth’s maiden name was not given in the Presbyterian records at Wooler even though several of her children were born during the Barrington period (1798-1812).

 

Thomas, a farm servant/husbandman, and Elizabeth were the parents of:

 

·              Isabel Rogerson born 29 October 1805 at Middleton in Ilderton parish and christened 4 November 1805 at United Presbyterian Cheviot Street-Nc, Wooler died in Wooler prior to 1814 (no burial has as yet been found);

 

·              George Rogerson born 21 January 1807 in Ilderton parish and christened at United Presbyterian Cheviot Street-Nc, Wooler on 3 February 1807 died at Horncastle, Kirkwhelpington and was buried at St Bartholomew’s, Kirkwhelpington on 25 April 1820, aged 13 years;

 

·              Elizabeth Rogerson born 16 November 1808 in North Middleton, Ilderton parish and christened 6 December 1808 at United Presbyterian Cheviot Street-Nc, Wooler died at Horncastle and was buried at St Bartholomew’s, Kirkwhelpington on 19 May 1821, aged 12 years;

 

·              Edward Rogerson born 24 October 1810 at North Middleton, Ilderton parish and christened 31 October 1810 at United Presbyterian Cheviot Street-Nc, Wooler, about whom nothing more is known;

 

·              Thomas Rogerson born 3 August 1812 at Torvilaws, Wooler parish and christened 3 August 1812 at United Presbyterian Cheviot Street-Nc, Wooler died prior to 1818 (no burial has as yet been found);

 

·              Isabella Rogerson born 9 January 1814 at Torvilaws, Wooler parish and christened 17 January 1814 at United Presbyterian Cheviot Street-Nc, Wooler married George Irvine on 5 September 1840 at St Boniface, Bonchurch, Isle of Wight, Hampshire (please click on Isabella’s name for more information);

 

·              William Rogerson born 5 August 1816 at Torvilaws, Wooler parish and christened 7 August 1816 at United Presbyterian Cheviot Street-Nc, Wooler, about whom nothing more is known; and

 

·              Thomas Rogerson born at Horncastle, Kirkwhelpington and christened at St Bartholomew’s, Kirkwhelpington on 16 October 1818 married Ann Lee at St John the Baptist, Newcastle Upon Tyne on 3 December 1853 (please click on Thomas’ name for more information).

 

There is a possible burial for Elizabeth Rogerson nee ? of Wooler on 23 October 1820 at St Mary’s, Wooler, aged 35 years. No other burial has as yet been found for Thomas’ first wife and as to why Elizabeth died in Wooler would only be speculation when two of her children died within a few months either side of her death, at Horncastle, Kirkwhelpington.

 

Thomas, who was 20 years her senior, and Jane Telfer began their married life at Horncastle. Unfortunately the parish register for Kirkwhelpington does not say that Thomas was a widower when he married Jane. Any help to confirm that Thomas, husband of Elizabeth, and Thomas, husband of Jane Telfer, are one and the same would be much appreciated, thank you! J
