Hi, welcome to this great site, in case you wern't aware both this Forum and the extensive FoD Parish Records on this site are easily searchable. That said, I cannot find any Fredericks on here, spelt Rogers or Rodgers !.

But from GlosBMD site:

Marriage Details
Number of entries matching criteria entered: 1

Groom Surname Groom Forename Bride Surname Bride Forename District Parish Building Year Register Entry
RODGERS Frederick HARPER Mary Forest of Dean Drybrook Holy Trinity 1871 2 65

http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/SimpleSearch.aspx

This Marriage Record is confirmed by FreeBMD site, with same Rodgers spelling.
Sadly cannot find similar Record on this site (FoD PRs).

So, searching this site for Mary Harper baptism about 1854 gives 4 possibles, none in 1854, one in Drybrook;

Record_ID: 77669

Note: The Regulator is a coal mine near Cinderford, see map
http://www.lightmoor.co.uk/forestcoal/EastDean.html

It closed in 1898, see
http://www.lightmoor.co.uk/forestcoal/CoalRegulator.html

Of course this assumes her family hadn't moved to Drybrook from, say, Coleford where two of the other "possibles" were born, or Longhope....

Looking again for Rogers/Rodgers in Newent area abt 1847, I see some in Pauntley so near Newent which I guess are related. Please check them for yourselves, some interesting Records... Also some in Kempley, Aston Ingham etc. (when searching tick the soundex box to ensure you catch Rogers/Rodgers spelling variations. THAT SAID IT DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK PROPERLY..?..!.) Still no Frederick though.

Searching FreeBMD the only likely match IMHO is:

Births Dec 1845
ROGERS Frederick Hereford &c XXVI 163 rcjones

(I assume the DOBs you quote are perhaps estimates only, perhaps fromCensus Returns ?)

From FoD PRs (ie this site), looking for the children:

So Frederick Richard Cooper born 1895-29 so abt 1866.

Possibly, from FreeBMD:

NB: Bedwelty is South West Monmouthshire, see later, family migration ?
