Sir Roger was, from 1794 to at least 1833, a senior merchant and second judge in the court of appeal in Murshidabad, Bengal, India. He lived at Burnham Westgate Hall, which he inherited from his father and lived in until his death there in 1854.
Sir Roger had a mistress Mary Ann Clarke, but the couple were never married. Mary Ann did have a daughter, Ellen, and there is suggestion that she may have been an illegitimate child of Sir Roger. Ellen (c. 1827 - 17 January 1893) married John Overman, a farmer of Crabbe Hall, and was buried with him in the graveyard of Burnham Westgate church.
With no male heir, the title of Baronet was unable to be passed on and so became extinct on his death on 15 December 1854. As with his immediate family, Sir Roger was buried at Burnham Westgate church with his mistress.
