There is a still born female ROGERS in 1850/119
www.BDM ref but no parents are indicated.
In the 1841 Census for Nancygollen, John and Mary nee FAULL Rogers were living at Nancygollen. As this is almost half way between the Parishes of Sithney and Crowan I wonder if Johhn and Mary Rogers have been living there all along. There are many FAULL in this village and it could be that they settled with her family.
Had a session on 1841 census and I have found a HENRY ROGERS on Sithney Census, Chyrueen with wife and four children and a WILLIAM ROGERS on Sithney Census at Prospinnock with wife Elizabeth and five children.
The library also sent some background information on Henry ROGERS of SKEWIS FARM who was hanged for murder. Within the data was an extract from a publication " Cornish Heritage- Keith Skues, published 1983 Chapter 7 Seige of SKEWIS. In the article he provides a family line for the said HENRY ROGERS of Skewis Farm.
Background knowledge from the article :
Mathew ROGERS,of Cambourne, second son of HENRY ROGERS of Cambourne identifies that he married Mary ROWE and had eight children although only four children made adult life.
Their issue
WILLIAM ROGERS married Ann MILLETT - no issue
HENRY ROGERS married Catherine WEBSTER and he identified four children in the article,all baptised at FALMOUTH,
LUCE bapt 1724
Matthew Bap 1726
William Bap 1828
Mary bapt 1733
In the article he mentions an article by Davies Gilbert who in his account of the family had visited another son HENRY who was 84 years in 1812 who recalled the seige and mentioned that he had been born in Crowan and that while his father had been bred a pewterer had for many years occupied land at Crowan.
The original MATTHEW ROGERS had a sister REBECCA ROGERS who married JOHN DAVEY of Crowan. This John Davey was made one of the four Guardians of WILLIAM, HENRY, JANE and JOHN ROGERS when they were orphaned in abt 1709 when Mary ROWE died.
I have a pencil note that our WILLIAM ROGERS who married MARY TOYE was born abt 1733 ( no knowledge of where this came from- grrrr)
However:
Was our WILLIAM ROGERS who married Mary TOYE possibly the son of HENRY ROGERS who got into conflict over the SKEWIS FARM ( 1735) with the widow of his brother WILLIAM will and the ownership of SKEWIS FARM
Hope this makes sense to you all
