(NB: see reference to husband Thomas dying just a few days earlier !?. Checking the Inquests I see no reason to assume this was anything other than coincidence, perhaps heartbreak even. That said there is a very interesting Inquest for presumably another family member, John Rogers of Pool Hill died 1871 through very unusual circumstances indeed !)

http://www.forest-of-dean.net/inquests/images/A205.png

I guess after Thomas & Elizabeth passed away after good long lives there's even less to keep the younger generations in the FoD area, so perhaps they did migrate to Bedwellty a year or so later to find more work ?.

There still appear to be earlier generations of Thomas and Elizabeth on FoD PRs to find... good luck hunting !

Looking at your 1851 & 1891 Census' returns, rechecking FoD PRs for a Fredrick/Fred Rogers born abt 1846/7 Pauntley/Pool Hill Newent, guess this is him at last ?.

SO TO CONCLUDE, I may be wrong but the lack of local PRs for the later children suggest to me the family moved to South Wales, presumably for work due to Dean mines such as Regulator running-down their already small workforces until finally closing in 1898 (see document earlier).
I hope this helps, and that it seems plausible.

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;

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:
