Your request has now been moved to Lancashire board although you can still access it as you have previously so you don't need to do anything

Ok the info I have up to now ...I found my great grandfathers grave in southern cemetery when I saw it it said brother and the date he was born and died...frank Roberts born1888 he died on the 1st nov 1932 so I looked at some records and he left a will which states half blood of Samuel Robert Roberts there's nothing on the 1891 census but then he's there in 1901 at 13 ... 
     I found that Samuel Lewis born 1865 married a Mary Jones  they married in port wood Cheshire... On May 22nd 1890....

Here is the 1901

49 Liddell Street, Ardwick, Manchester
Samuel L Roberts 36 bricklayer bn Liverpool
Mary 32 bn Ardwick
Kate A 70 widow mother bn Ireland
Frank 13  son
Kate A 8 dtr
Samuel R 5
Lewis 10 mths   children all bn Manchester

So it looks as if Samuel Lewis had been married before

[Miss nosy]

Thanx....I've seen that census I think he may of been married before but I can't find anything..

This 1891 fits as far as a Chester marriage and son called Frank - but ages and pobs very different to the 1901!

1891
111 Chitterton Rd Chester
Samuel Roberts 38 gas stoker bn Chester
Mary 33 bn Whitchurch Salop
Gladys 5
Frank 4
Edith 3
Samuel 1
Lily 4 mths children all bn Chester

A diffrerent family on the face of it.

[Miss nosy]

Yes think that may be a different family..thanx though

Frank is George F Roberts age 3 born Manchester  in 1891 - RG12\2803 folio 80 page 39.  Samuel and Mary married as Bachelor and Spinster so I would think that Frank was born a Jones.

Sorry, really must be off to  bed or I would transcribe the census.

So if frank was born a Jones that means he wasn't Samuels son then....it defo says half blood on the will frank left for my great grandfather...I really want to find out then I can order a birth certificate for him...

He would still be a half brother if they shared a mother.  Maybe Frank took his stepfathers name when his mum married.
