I'm searching for information regarding Joseph Rogers, born
approximately 1818 in Wales (possibly Flintshire, Ysceifiog). He was married to Elizabeth,
and had a son named William (born approximately 1841). I would like to know what area(s)
he lived in to continue my research. He is listed on the 1880 U.S. Census in Braidwood,
Illinois. Apparently he lived next to his son, William and family. One of William's
sons (Edward) was my great grandfather (born approximately 1875). My ultimate goal is to
follow Joseph's ancestors back as far as I can trace. One day I hope to again return
to the UK & Wales to follow up on research personally. Thanks in advance for any
assistance you are able to provide.

Hi Robert
The only Joseph and Elizabeth Rogers with a son William in the 1851
Wales census were living in Llannelly.
Joseph was aged 33 born in Cornwall, and Elizabeth aged 34 and William
aged 8 both born in Somerset.
This may not be them, but it's all I could find.
Regards
David
