Angela, Have you got Frederick's 1910 marriage cert....... Does it record anything important about Edwin (like alive or dead?) Was his occupation still down as a baker? Merry

I think martha is Ellens sister. Angela did not know Edwin was a Baker, the replies indicate that she knew he married a Lucy but certainly didnt know where- cant imagine she has the cert (maybe wrong)

Frustrating this one, isn't it........? Yes, Ellen and Martha are sisters and prob one of them is Edwin's mother....... If Frederick hadn't been here in 1910 I would have said they had all emigrated.......!! I think Angela is going to need Frederick's marriage cert and maybe Edwin's birth cert, to try and get to the bottom of this. Merry

Sorry Jess, I just saw your message number 20 at the end of page one......Yes, I agree, but maybe Martha could also be Edwin's mum?? Anyway - none of that explains where they have gone!! (Edwin and Lucy etc) Ellen is on every census! Ggggggrrrrrrr! Merry

i've looked at every Edwin in Worcestershire, Warks, N'hants, Staffs, Leicestershire... !!

wow i cant believe all the research you have all done for me im overwelmed sorry just replying as i was at work im going to get fredericks marriage cert and birth cert he died in 1915 so will get the death cert to edwin is just a mystery will see if i can work it out from all the research many thanks angie xx

hi merry on adas marriage it says no 3 does that mean it was her 3rd marriage her husband frederick died in 1915 and wondered if she married again hi jess i had feeling sidney was adas and fredericks son he was born 1910 when they got married but he must of died at birth cus its got a omonths by his record

When you say on Ada's marriage is says number three, I'm not sure what you mean?? You said you are going to get the cert, so presume you mean something in the index says three?? Nothing in the index would give any indication of how many times someone had been married.........hope that helps? Ada did marry again in 1920, it's on page one of this thread, where I posted some entries from Family Relatives....to a Mr Jones LOL she had obviously got fed up with people asking her to spell her name!! Merry

sorry merry yes i ment on the index i think i will have to get edwins cert,cus this ones driving us nuts many thanks for your help will keep you updated one more question are all the ref numbers the same as on 1837 as this is were i buy my certs angie

i cant believe ada married a jones my nan married a jones and that means my great gran did aswell and guess what im mrs jones lol xxxxxxx

The GRO index ref should be the same whether it comes from 1837online, Familiy Relatives, FreeBMD, Ancestry or anywhere else.....I say should, as someone did find one that didn't match between sites, but I'm sure this is pretty unusual! As for Frederick and Ada. This is the ref for their marriage: Rodds Frederick Roberts Ada Kings Norton District Volume 6c Page 715 Quarter 1 1910 I can't see a three anywhere!! lol Merry

JONES lol!!! I didn't notice your name!!! Merry

i think the 3 means the 3rd quater of that year lol thank you merry iv got loads of certs to send off for but we will get there in the end i think all us jonses are inter bread im gob smacked lol xxxxxxxx

hi again so martha and ellen are sisters and ellen is living with her sister in the census i wonder why edwin,s surname is rose do you think this is a mis print so we still havnt found what happend to lucy and edwin after 1881 how strange got lots to go on anyway many thanks angie

Angela - ot only LOOKS AS if they are sisters, to prove this you would need to buy their birth certs. On the image that i found EDWIN it was clear ,they were RODDS, he was ROSE. jESS

thanks jess must get them certs to see whos who hugs angie xx

well, after a bit of fiddling about i can tell you they were NOT still at Alexander St in 1891!

hi jess so they went missing after 1891 what if they were in a work house would they still be registerd on the census angie xx

They would theoretically be registered wherever they were, prison workhouse hospital, etc etc. I dont know that they went missing in 1891 - just that they were not at the same address as they were in 1881 - which doesn't surprise me really. They are bugging me! I have been looking in old directories (thought him being a baker would be to our advantage but doesn't seem to be at the moment.) Jess

having another directories hunt right now! PO dir, 1855 J Rodds, cabinet maker, walton on Thames
