If you have no other information, the best thing to do is get their marriage certificate to see how old they stated they were, their father's names and names of witnesses which might give clues.

Thank you so much. I have no further information, however I have been told in the past that Rhoda was from ? wealthy family, and she was cut off from her family, because she fell in love with Frank who was the head gardener.I`m afraid that`s all I know.

Brooks Frank 1884 Oxford Hampstead 1911 census

Was his death in Stockport in 1939?

Did they have other children? If where?

Can't find a Rhoda Hobbs born Oxfordshire

It is not easy to pinpoint Rhoda and Frank in the 1911 census.
You would need to get their marriage certificate to find out their father's names.
Do you know if they had any brothers or sisters?
