trying to find if any descendants from a Benjamin.J.Roden (1888) who married a Emily Hillman in 1914 in Staffordshire.
Any children very unlikely to be alive, but might be grandchildren etc.,
any help would be appreciated.

Have you looked for births on Freebmd? Also be sure to check for matches by using 'search trees' - but I guess you know this!

Having said that I can see no children - unless Emily had been married before and had a different maiden name.

EDIT it's 1914 for the marriage, and just Benjamin - no J.

Are you sure it is your Benjamin marrying 1914? He doesn't have a middle initial, and there is at least one other possible - for example:

Name: Benjamin Roden
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1890
Registration district: Dudley
Inferred County: Staffordshire, Worcestershire
Volume: 6c

Still not sure why you think the Benjamin Roden who married Emily Hillman is the same as Benjamin J.Roden born 1888 - but I guess you know something I don't!
