Narrative

Looking at baptism records and later census records show that there were two George Rogers born in Modbury in 1837, one to John and Sarah Ann Rogers, and one to George and Elizabeth Rogers.

One of these Georges was a farmer, lived most of his adult life at East Leigh (and died there) and was married first to Jane Marshall and then to Temperance Kerswell. The marriage certificate for George and Temperance shows that this was the son of John and Sarah.

The other George became a police officer and moved to Sunderland, where he married Margaret Valentine, and latterly to Newcastle. By elimination this must be the son of George and Elizabeth, although a marriage certificate would be necessary to prove this.
