There is also this 1901 record which gives birth place as Whitworth, civil parish Bury:-

Relation: Inmate
Gender: Male
Where born: Whitworth, Lancashire, England

Civil parish: Bury

County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England

Street Address:

None of this may be relevant, of course, but hope it helps somewhere along the line!

British Phone Books, on ancestry, have a
W. Rhodes , Btcher 603 Market St. Whitworth (which is just near Bury)
He is listed from at least 1929 to 1961 - didn't check any further.
Could this be his family?

Hi sorry it is all a bit confusing

Yeh Winifred was not born until 1909 yeh my dad said he was older than her but he never known his dad and not even seen a picture of him as he died while he was 2 it seems there is not much info on him as he did not marry Winifred but they had 4 children together...

Yeh he died in 1950

So you say you have his death, but you dont have his death certificate then?
It will have his age on it,so have you not got his age and the informant of his death..
The Charles Rhodes death that I found on Ancestry in 1950 in Middlesbro says he was 68.
Is that not him then?

Wnifred wasnt born til 1909 that I can make out,so he would have been almost 30 yrs older,is that correct?

Births Sep 1909 (>99%)

Hi

Regarding

So he was 68 when he died ,that puts him at a 1882 birth.

When were his children born so that the 1911 census can be searched

I am not sure if he was that age as I don't really know what year he was born all I know is what my dad has told me it was Bury in Lanchashire and that he died when he was 2 and that would of been 1950

his children though (Rhodes)

my dad thomas 1948
Alan I think 1950
Joan i think 1947
charles (I am not sure when he was born but I know he died in 1975) he was quite young well in his 20's

Kind Regards Andy

The death cert. will give you his age so you can work out his date of birth.
It will also give you the name of the person who registered the death who could be a relative.
