Robert A Slater 1856 - 1940
« on: Tuesday 27 May 14 09:20 BST (UK) »
I have had no luck so far in finding 'official' records to confirm some of the dates for my great grandfather Robert A Slater and his children and wonder if someone can verify any of them for me?
Robert A Slater, butcher, b. 16 June 1856 (Lewisham?) died 15 July 1940.
Bertha Withers, his wife, b. 1861 (Romsey Infra Hamps?) died 11 October 1936
Children:(Some of these are very "iffy")
Daisy Amy Slater, b. 1894 Streatham Surrey
Gerald Alfred Slater, b. 6 October 1896, North Cottage Grove Rd. Finchley (my grandfather, dates are all okay as I have copies of his birth and death certificates)
Charles Ernest Slater, b. 30 Aug 1901, Eltham, d. 8 Nov 1985
Cyril Leslie Slater, b. 1904, Eltham
Winifred Slater (no dates at all)

Have you looked up the births on freebmd?
To get exact dates of birth you would need to purchase the birth certs.

Marriage
Ap/May/jun 1888
Brentford
Ref 3a 101
Robert Slater and Bertha Withers on same page

Have you got the marriage cert, to find their fathers? That would help find them in earlier censuses with their families, and thus help lead to the correct birth regs
