Charles William Rogers and Emma Jane Bull were married in the June quarter of 1888, at Lambeth, London.

This looks like it could be them on the 1891 England census, living at Lewisham, London.

Charles W Rogers 24
Occupation (something starting with an 'M') designer dress

Emma J Rogers 21

Emelie B Rogers 2
Eveline M Rogers 6/12
Isabella R Bull 14

Isabella Bull is listed as stepdaughter, indicating an earlier marriage for Emma Jane Bull.


1901 England Census, living at Sydenham, Lewisham, London:

Charles W Rogers b. Westminster, London (b. abt 1867)
34 Occupation: (indecipherable) designer

Emma J Rogers b. Southwark, London (b. abt 1870) 31

Emily B Rogers 12
Charles A Rogers 7
Ethel M Rogers (b. abt 1896) 5


Hope this is of some help, Anne

Sorry, must need my morning coffee :)

Of course, Isabella Bull cannot be Emma Jane Bull's daughter. Perhaps a sister?

Anne

Yes, it has been transcribed wrongly.

I had a look at the original text of the census details, and it denotes Isabella R. Bull (born abt 1877, Lambeth) as sister-law of household head Charles W. Rogers.

Cheers, Anne

many thanks anne,

i ahve listed all tghat info' and used waht i can at this stage, will look at it further and gleen more i'm sure. this might help others as well?

len

forgot to say i think "millner" might be his occupation how does that sound? they are dress makers whatever.

Len, I've now had my coffee, and another close look at the text :)

I think it is 'Mantle' designer (dress), a mantle being an overgarment, as in a coat or cloak.

All the best, Anne

okey dokey anne,

will note that
