7 July 1862

Volume 8,  page 190, sitting number 10,380. 

[The Silvy daybooks identity the sitter only as ‘Mrs Rogers’ but the portrait was acquired with another showing her husband, Reverend John Rogers. The Clergy List of 1866 records several clerics with this name but evidence elsewhere in the album indicate links with Stanage Park in Wales and with the Coltman family.]

Born at Macclesfield in Cheshire in 1833, Charlotte Victoria Newbold was the daughter of Francis Stonehewer Newbold and his wife Mary née Coltman. 

On 27 October 1851 she married Reverend John Rogers at St George’s, Hanover Square. 

The couple appear on the 1861 census living at Aymestrey in Herefordshire. Also present on the night of the census were their daughter Harriet, their three young sons and five servants. Reverend Rogers gave ‘Vicar of Aymestrey ‘as his profession. 

Reverend Rogers died, aged 60, on 28 May 1878, leaving an estate valued at £40,000. 

His death was announced in the Illustrated London News on 8 June 1878: ‘The Rev. John Rogers, of Stanage Park, Radnorshire, and The Home, Wentnor, Salop, J.P. for the counties of Hereford, Radnor, and Salop, on the 28th ult., at Stanage Park, aged sixty. He was the son and heir of the late Rev.
