They did indeed have 2 children

We have to be very careful here as  the 2 siblings might still be alive

Are you intending to go back or did you just want to know about the siblings?, you need to let us know what you already know so that we don't duplicate information

This site is free to register, it is easy to use, all you need is the surname and mother's maiden name and a year plus or minus 2 years either side, and you can check for children born to the following, if you enjoy doing your own research this is very rewarding, it is straightforward, start from about 1893 when they married

John Joseph Coates
married
Sarah Jane Bowyer
1893 Leek, they had at least 4 children by 1901

Raymond Joseph died 1998 Sandwell aged 70, showing his birth date as 01/03/1928

If you have family still alive they are the best source of information, grab it all whilst you can

Happy hunting

Thank you for all your help I'll keep going. Unfortunately both my grandfather and his sister are no longer with us so can't find a lot out from them but it's fun trawling and finding information slowly

Here's a start for you then, please check them against the GRO indexes and then you will see how it works

I believe
George COATES full age fth Joseph
married
Ann Elizabeth GOLDEN aged 20 fth Thomas
09/08/1868
Leek
The only way to confirm this is to try to purchase the relevant certificate if you couldn't get to the record office

John Joseph born 1871 MMN Golder
Mary Jane 1873 Goulden
Alice Ann 1874 Goulden

but if followed from marriage to 1871 census the children listed are under mother's maiden name of GOULDEN and GOLDER , also Ann becomes Hannah

If you are able to get to the nearest records office and look at the church register and they were baptised in C of E you would have a rewarding time
