I have their marriage entry which I will look up in Liverpool later as taking place in St. Nicholas in 1897:-

Annie Rogerson

I thnk I have a birth for a Annie Rogers in June qtr 1878 West Derby 8b 631

And I have a birth Registration for a Thomas Joseph Rogers Dec qtr 1877

Bit to close to each other these 2

I cannot find a Thomas J Rogers with a sister called Annie/Annie on the 1891 census or the 1881.

Driver T. Rogers and Thomas Joseph Rogerson are the same soldier, but for some reason this family have gone from Rogers to Rogerson.

Puzzle solving time.

I have found a baptism in St. Joseph's for:-

Anna Rogers born 23rd-Feb-1873 Daughter of James and Mary Rogers (nee Wall)
Alexander James Rogers born 8th-June-1874 son of James and Mary Rogers (nee Wall)

Also a baptism at Holy Cross for :

Thomas Joseph Rogers born 28th August 1877 son of James and Mary Rogers (nee Wall)

Lets see if I can locate them on the 1881 Census.
