Thread: William Rodger - Need Help!

Hi,



I was wandering if anyone could help me find an ancestor on my hubby's side named William Rodger born circa. 1798 in Bothwell, Lanarkshire to William Rodger (farmer) & Mary Rodger nee Rodger. He died aged 82 on 29th Sept 1880 in 344 Crown St, Glasgow. He was married to Janet Johnston in April 1831 in Old Monklands, but was widowed later on. I can't seem to find anything about him, or his parents . Any help would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks,



Daryl

Hi Daryl,



I have had no luck with the 1861 census or the IGI. Have you tried http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
