110122:
There is a problem concerning the details of Peter Richard Rogerson and his parentage.
First of all, nowhere that I have seen is he referred to as Peter Richard Rogerson. I don't know how I obtained that middle name and it may be a mistake.
Secondly, and more importantly, today I discovered on FindMyPast a transcript of the memorial to his father, James Rogerson, in the Johnstone Parish Churchyard in Dumfrieshire which contains dates for Peter and his father that make no sense and do not conform with those already present in my family tree, taken mostly from the data compiled on FamilySearch by Chrtistopher Carter. I believe he may have mistakenly mixed up data from one James Rogerson with another. There were many Rogerson's in that part of Scotland and it would be easy to do since many of the church records have gone missing. It is also possible that the transcript by the Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society contains errors. I believe for example that the age of James at death should be 53, not 33. Also, I don't understand how Peter can be the only son of James. I show another son as well as two daughters not mentioned on the monument. Neither is his wife, whom I believe to be Margaret Halliday. The second son I had has been removed as it was clearly an error by Christopher Carter to add him in here.
Here is that transcript:

Note that on the transcript of James Johnstone Rogerson's birth/baptism record from the Methodist church in Carbonear which is found on NGB, the father's name is given as Richard. This could simply be a transcription error or it may be that the first name Peter was accidentally omitted. Either way, this is the only evidence that his father had the middle name Richard, which is not seen on any other records I have ever found so far.
