My Great Grandfathers name is Frederick Ross, he was married to Ann Clarke to whom he had two children, Frederick and Harry Ross. He was born in 1916 and died in 1952.

I'm hoping to find out the names of Frederick Ross' parents and/or siblings. I believe he had eight other siblings, however this information could be wrong.

The family are from the North East of England.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Well his birth should be on freebmd which wil show his mmn

His marriage cert too should show his father's name .if known

Do you have his actual birth date

I don't sorry, I've just had a look on freebmd and the only Frederick Ross' I can find that were born near 1916 were in 1912 and 1918, I don't know if I'm looking in the right places though

The only one born out of the London area


Births Sep 1916
Ross Frederick Bebbington Salford. 8d. 13


There at least 10 children including two sets of twins . All Salford area and from 1914

Susana Horabin (Ross) 21 Jan 1920 Female Barmaid Single 295 4

I'm pretty sure he had an older brother called John or Johnny, born around 1912

Elsie rings a bell, however I don't think they were from Salford

Well that's the only 1916 birth that isn't in the London area

You need his marriage cert for his dads name then

Ross Frederick Clarke Durham N.E. 10a 2397

Maybe he wasn't born in 1916

Is this him??
Deaths Sep 1952
ROSS Frederick 38 Newcastle T. 1b 59

If so that makes his birth c1914

So am going to delete the Salford ones as not the right one I think

That's a possibility

If he died in 1952 the only suitable one in the NE is aged 38 ie born 1914 which suggests one of these two is the 1939 safc printed is correct

Births Jun 1914 (>99%)
Ross Frederick McArdle Sunderland 10a 1555
Ross Frederick P Gregory Tynemouth 10b 659

I know he died when he was aged about 38, his older brother, John/Johnny died within the past 10 years, aged 102, if that helps.

Frederick Ross 1914 died Newcastle 1952 V1b P59

Info off ancestry.co.uk tree so please check

Emily 1890
Clara 1893
Frances 1895
Margaret 1901
Archibald 1903
james henry 1906
