                1825: Rachel
                Rogers born at Dry Drayton,
                Cambridgeshire. She was baptised at St
                Peter and St Pauls' church Dry Drayton on 6th
                February, along with her sister Elizabeth, so she
                may well have been a twin. Her father John's
                occupation was given as blacksmith. 
                 
                 
                1841 census:Rachel was
                fifteen years old at the time of the 1841 census.
                The Rogers family were living at  Dry
                Drayton, Cambridgeshire.  
                Rachel's
                father John is shown as a blacksmith. He was 50
                years old. Her mother Mary was also 50. 
                There were two
                other children in the household on the night of
                the 1841 census: William was 20 and Ann was 10.
                Rachel's father John was born outside of
                Cambridgeshire. Everyone else in the household
                was born in Cambridgeshire. 
                 
                1845: Rachel married WIlliam
                Anable on 26th October at St Peter and St Pauls'
                church, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire.
                She was 20 years old. Both William and Rachel
                signed the register with a cross. Rachel's
                father's occupation was given as blacksmith.

                        1851
                        census: Rachel was twenty-six years
                        old at the time of the 1851 census. The
                        Anable family were living at 23
                        the Cottages, Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire.
                         
                        Rachel's
                        husband William is shown as a bricklayer.
                        He was 27 years old. 
                        Rachel
                        had two children at the time of the 1851
                        census: Elizabeth was 5 and Samuel was 1.

                        Mary Rogers, aged 65 and 64 respectively.
                        John's occupation is shown as blacksmith.
                        Almost certainly, these are Rachel's
                        parents. 
                        The
                        census records that Rachel was born at

                        her children. Her husband was born in

                extant in Dry Drayton graveyard - he died at the
                age of 71 in 1922. The two lodgers, John and Mary
                Rodgers, Samuel's mother's parents, who appear on
                the 1851 census, are no longer living in the
                household.
