Hello Gill
Welcome to Rootschat 
Do you have a subscription to a family history research site like ancestry or findmypast?
You can find the family in the census from that, from 1841-1901, then find births deaths and marriages on the same kind of site, or on free sites like freebmd, freecen, and then freereg for parish records before 1837
The 1911 census is pay-to-view but would give details of length of marriage, how many children survived etc www.1911census.co.uk/
If you have a look at the Beginners boards on Rootschat you'll find lots of help and advice www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,47.0.html
Here's 1901 census to start you off:
1901 RG13 Piece 1567 Folio 11 Page 13
41 Vicarage Road, West Ham, Essex
BIDDLE
Charles head mar 46 Milkman b.Whitbourne, Herts
Francis wife mar 49 b. Lower Beeding, Essex
Isabel Jane dau 16 Millinery Saleswoman b. Streatham Essex edit West Ham
Maria Katharine dau 14 b. Streatham, Essex edit West Ham
If you would like any earlier census look-ups, just ask
Kind regards
Barbara

Hello Barbara,
Thank you for your help. I have not subscribed to a pay site, each time I consider it i find the information I want else where. However I think this might be the way to get information on this family, particulalry Charles' parents.
Is there a census record for when Charles was young that might give me his parents names? Now I know he was born in Whitbourne this should narrow it down.
Thanks again
Gill

quite frequently see Herefordshire confused with Hertfordshire ! 1881 - Hereford, 1891 ditto, 1901 - Herts !
The girls were born West Ham btw ....

I only looked more closely as I couldnt think where Streatham in Essex might be - the clerk ran the words together virtually, so it did read Streatham at a quick glance
