William Rodger - Foulyet Farm, Bothwell Parish 1785 onwards
Posted: Sun May 28, 2017 10:01 pm
Hi,
I've just broken a brick wall regarding my hubby's 3 x great grandfather William Rodger, who lived in Bothwell about 1785 onwards at a place called Foulyett/Foulyet Farm (according to CANMORE) in Bothwell parish he was a farmer.
What I'd like to know is how long he lived there for, and what church or churches and cemetery were local to him. I have a feeling wasn't C.O.S as I can't find him in the o.p.r's so must have been dissenting/presbyterian etc. His son William must have been born in Foulyett c.1798.
There is also a James Rodger who lived at Rowantree, at the same time, (in the cart tax rolls 1785-1798) so I'm wondering if he could have been his brother ? and also a John also mentioned at Foulyet too, in the horse tax rolls perhaps another brother or relative.
I'd like to find him or his family, can anyone help ?
Thanks,
Daryl Rodger
