Thanks Yvonne, its more than likely it is them. One what other members have found for me, have delved for marriages etc., but can only find one for Frederick within the Birmingham area, possibly the other wed elsewhere.
thanking you

Hi I am trying to complete my search on my grandfathers side of the family (his siblings children/grandchildren).
I do have his brothers name but these are the names I am trying to find the children/grandchildren of
Harry Rowley 1909. Percy 1910 Frederick.A 1912 and Elsie 1915 I do know that Elsie never married.
Going back as a child I recall it been mentioned that one of the men was in the public house trade in Birmingham area and another was in the jewellery business and had a shop in Weston or Margate?
thanks for you time
