Just wondering if anyone knows this family, a spin off from the Rogers the Printer thread,
you never know , there may be some bit of info out there that might help.
I`m OK back to 1861 , but can`t find Thomas in 1851, or Henry who may have been a brother.
Did Charles marry Catherine Dane, no sign of her in 1851 either.
I`m working backwards from 1901 so sorry if it`s a bit difficult to follow at first
