Find Living Relatives

Hi I'm looking for anyone that knew my father Reginald Rogers, he was from Devises area of Wiltshire.I do know of one of his brothers , Tom who was married to Madge and had a daughter Kathleen who in turn had 2 boys one called Mark. They lived in South London for quite a few years although my father moved away 1964/65. I have some information about his parents and I would be greatly appreciative of any information, his father was Frederick I'm not sure of his Mothers name although it began with an S. :-)
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Carol

Hi Carol

It is unlikely that anyone reading your post will have actually known your father.

When was your father born?

When was Tom born?

If your father was actually born in Devizes, Wiltshire, there is this birth..........

Births Mar 1926 (>99%)
Rogers Reginald Yates Devizes 5a 141

And this marriage.........


Marriages Dec 1914 (>99%)
Rogers Frederick J Yates Devizes 5a 217
Yates Ruth Rogers Devizes 5a 217

But.........not only does Ruth's name not begin with an "S", there does not appear to be a Tom/Thomas Rogers mmn Yates birth registered in Devizes.

Not posting the full info but if you think this is them then getting the marrige cert may help identify Thomas

Edit no Kathleen to that marrige but a K. Birth as well as a brother shows on FreeBMD

Hi sorry I haven't got back to you both before now ! and thanks for the info , I don't really know what Im looking for on the records. I thought I had traced back to S.G Yates not Ruth Yates maybe that's where Im going wrong!!!
I wish I knew what I was doing :-(
Shirley you say that by getting the marriage cert may help identify Thomas, WELL I found it but its just a page with the entry on it,..... Q how can I identify Thomas from this ?
thanks for all your help :-)

You have to buy a copy of the cert from

www.gro.gov.uk. Costs £9.25 quoting the GRO ref which is on FreeBMD

When ordering tick the box that asks if the GRO ref if known and fill in the ref in the appropriate boxes which are self explanatory

Sadly this look like margery still in the wandsworth area that ties with the electoral roll

I'm pleased to say that I have found family ( they actually found me through this post) on my fathers side, two of his sons from a different relationship. I have been in touch with them and we get along great . Thanks to everyone that's helped me . I'm still looking for relations on that side. Thanks again :-D
