James Report 6 Aug 2011 13:30

My G/M was born in 1872 and my G/F in1862 his name Henry Roberts and she Emily ?, I believe that they were married arround1891, what I am trying to establish is who were my grandparents Fathers & Mothers.
Tall order I,m sure but any help would be useful,
they lived with their four children at 1 back of 27 Cox Street West Balsall Heath Birmingham in the 1911 Census.

Many Thanks for any help I may receive

You might need a birth cert for one of the children.
Can you paste 1911 onto here please, not seeing them.

Can you post the details of the 1911 to help us to identify them in 1901 please?

Names and ages of children in 1911 would help. Thank You.

Married 12 years in 1911?? That would make marriage 1899 and so earlier children were from previous marriage?

I think 1911 image said 22 years, but it's playing up now & I can't access it!

EDIT def. 22 years.

Ah, that's better. 12 children in 12 years would really be pushing it! (Pardon the pun)
