What dates were they roughly?

[Wack]

Albert And Ada Wroe were born about 1890. Albert died in the 1930s aged 52. Ada died aged 92 around 1975-80

On the 1901 census online there are two Albert Wroe's

Albert Wroe - 9 - born Bury - living at  Manchester
and
Albert Wroe - 15 - born Bury - living at Ramsbotom (a Cotton Duffer)

Thanks Kathym!
This could be a long haul!

I would suggest you start with a birth certificate for one of their children.....with Ada's maiden name you can then seek their marriage certificate ...... and searching for Ada & her family in the census' will be easier !

My Mum seems to think Ada was called Walsh
