my dads farther passed away when he was a young boy as many men at that time did with TB.

Are you sure your Robert had the middle name of "John"?

maybe he was registered as robert john at birth but never used his middle name!!
his son was philip john( my grandad) who i never met but they called him john or jack.
and my dad is philip john but he only uses john!!
i think on the birth cert it does state robert j edwards?
be back on later just off to see my nanan as not well...
thanks for your help
:-(

Can't for the life of me find the 1891.

The 1911 census states that Joseph and Sarah had 10 children born, 6 living, 4 had died)

I think you will need Robert's birth cerificate to find out who his mother was.

There are quite a Robert's in the 1901 and 1911 census with a Father William but i can't spot one where both Father and Son are miners.

so the next thing is then is order birth cert
do you think this one may be it??
or is that just guessing!
