Hello all.
I had someone come in to my family history group.
They are looking for granddad's family Frank Roden born 1912 in Birmingham.
His mother was Rose Martha Alfreda Roden born 1875 and married James Ryan in 1929.
All ok there but she seems to have had lots of children without marrying.
Any help on them and their father's appreciated.

Children
Harry Henry Roden born 1894/5 nephew with uncle Frank on census
Minnie Jane Roden born 1895 with Mom 1901 and in Banardos 1911 (father Alfred Hill?)
Alfred Edward Roden/Hill born 1899 died 1906  same father
Rose Hill born 1902

Beatrice Ellen Hill born 1907 -father Arthur Hill painter
William Roden b and died 1910
Frank born 1912 father Arthur Roden painter
Florence ? He had a sister Florence but no birth reg or baptism found.

Any help appreciated

Hello
I'm looking up a family tree for a friend of a friend.It's her father in law we're after for her daughter who can't remember her father and who is now out of touch with her late husbands family.
  I've hit a bit of a snag with father in law George Charles Bennett born 26.2.1910 who married Abbots Langley Dec 1933 to Doris May Atkins .He is supposed to have two brothers and be from the East End of London.
His father is listed as George Bennett cork helmut maker on the marriage cert.
witnesses the married couple Frank and Pyhllis Visick nee Blackburn.

Which after spending £ 11 of her money gets me nowhere.
I have no George Charles Bennetts born in Mar or June qtr 1910 that fit the birthdate and father George(the one in Chester has a different DOB).
So I looked at George Bennetts and managed to whittle it down to 2
George Bennett June 1910 Dewsbury s of George Arthur Bennett and Annie Crawthorne miner-2 brothers
George Bennett June 1910 Wisbech s of George Robert Bennett and Edith Anne Horspool baker.No brothers

I'd like to go for the first ,there is a military record which gives the DOB for his 3 sons.George 's is a bit difficult to read and could be either the 20th or 26th.
But that does seem to fit better than the other one.But Dad as far as I know was never a cork helmet maker.
And George Arthur Bennett changes his date of birth 1885-1890 and helpfully marries Annie at the Registry office in Batley in 1908.So no help with his parents.

Help please!

Hi
Is there any chance some one can look up the marriage of John Turnball and Isabella Ann Oliver Mar qtr 1855
I'm particularly interested in the name and occupation of his father.
John Turnball is proving a bit hard to find
Thanks

Hello
I'm struggling to find the couple on the 1851 census
Joseph was born c 1800 a coal miner in Tipton on the 1841 Greets Green with wife Moriah age 45 .

They married at Walsall  in 1818 and had a first child Elizabeth in Bloxwich 1818 ,Mary Anne Bilston 1821,Eliza 1824 Tipton,Joseph 1827 Tipton and on the 1841 census a daughter Ann Maria age 3 born c 1838.

I've found what looks like Maria/Ann Maria /Moriah in West Bromwich in 1861 widow born 1788 Shropshire.The children all except Eliza and  Ann Maria I can see on the 1851 census.
Joseph is buried at Christ Church in 1861.

What I want to know is where Joseph was born and parents for both.

Joseph is not the one born 1795 at Walsall(he marries an Elizabeth and takes over the Bulls Head Rushall St c 1839).

So any ideas for the 1851 census ?

Any help much appreciated

Hello Everyone
This is a real toughy
I had a lady in to my Family History Group on Friday and went through her family tree from a 1911 census entry she bought with her(so  not my fault!)   back to 1814 .All in the Wednesbury area. Smith and Jones!
Was it right ? Was it heck.
Had a check of that 1911 census this morning and it doesn't fit with her mother and grandparents entry of 1939.  OOPs
So I started again, on the Smiths of Wednesbury.

This is as far as I got
A marriage at St Stephen Willenhall on free reg 19.9.1880
Thomas Smith lab  s of John Smith puddler dec
Elizabeth Ann smith 20 d of John labourer

Thomas is born Netheton in 1881 and Staffordshire nk in 1891 when the family are in Swinton Lancs.He dies by 1901 when Elizabeth had remarried to a Job Walters.(Marriage not available on line).
Elizabeth Ann is born 1857-1860 either Bilston ,Willenhall or Staffs nk
She is buried at James bridge in 1917 age 56.

Children for the couple - Sarah L or E 5 in 1891 ,Thomas age 3 ,John 2 Oct 1890 and Mary Ann Salford 13 Aug 1892.

Can anyone crack them before the marriage.
Any help REALLY appreciated.

ps got the wrong 1881 they are at Wolverhampton Lane Darlaston next to what seems to be her parents from Lincolnshire and Thomas is from Salop Stirchley?not Netherton.
