What's the problem with it?

I'm looking for a margaret rogers (or Rodgers) born 1857. She is absent from the censuses but I think she stayed in the area as she married there.

I've found so many transciption errors in names of relatives that I was working on a hunch that this may be another. I've therefore been going through all the margarets with a birth yr of 1857 to see if any of them nigh be a mis transcribed rogers. This looked like a possibility to me but I wanted to be sure that I wasn't kidding myself - looks like I was!!! lol

Fair enough - I was just being nosy! I've had loads of problems with transcriptions (including Arabella Shrive turning into Isabella Shine) - so keep looking.
