Biography

Flag of Norfolk (adopted 2014)
Roger North was born in Norfolk, England.

Roger, Eldest son of Roger North & Mary, was baptised on 19 Jan 1702/3 in Rougham, Norfolk, England.[1]

He was educated at Thetford and Cambridge and was admitted to the Middle Temple on 18 February 1717/8 Roger North son and heir of the Hon. Roger N., esq., a Master of the Bench.[2][3]

Roger married Mary Wenyeve the daughter of John Wenyeve of Brettenham in Suffolk on 2 September 1731 in Brettenham. [4][5]

Roger and Mary lived initially at Gressenhall, Norfolk and had two children there:

Roger North, son of Roger North & Mary Wenyeve, was baptised on 20 November 1732 in Gressenhall, Norfolk, England.[6]

John North, son of Roger North & Mary Wenyeve, was baptised on 17 October 1733 in Gressenhall, Norfolk, England.[7]

He was the major beneficiary in his father's will (probate 17 October 1734):[8]

...unto my eldest Son Roger</br>

Settled Estate at Rougham aforesaid and Hexam...

After the death of Roger's father they moved to Rougham had 3 children, twins Charles and Dudley and

Musgrave was buried on 7 Feb 1736/7 in Rougham, Norfolk, England.[10]

Mary was buried on 12 July 1736 in Rougham, Norfolk, England.[11]

Roger then contracted to marry Jane Lake, daughter of William Lake Gent. of Heacham in Norfolk. They married in Heacham on on 18 May 1739. [12][13]

Jane and Roger's children included:

  1. William North (1740 - 1740)
  2. Jane (North) Boydell (1746 - 1830)[14]
  3. Fountain North (1749 - 1810)
  4. Edward Roger North (abt.1753-)[15]
  5. Armine North

Rogers eldest son, Charles died in 1770. Roger died in 1771, probably in Rougham, Norfolk.[2] He was survived by his wife Jane and succeeded by his eldest surviving son, Fountain North.

Research Notes

1. It is probable that Roger and Mary lived in Gressenhall after their marriage (1731). The parish records show that a Roger North Esq. and Mary baptised two sons, Roger (1732) and John (1733) in Gressenhall before the death of Roger's father (1734) after which their children were baptised at Rougham. Also Roger's daughter, Jane (North) Boydell (bef.1746-bef.1830), was married in Gressenhall.
