Hi would SKS be able to check the 1891 census. I've looked for quite a few days now and have been unable to locate them, it may well be that they have been transcribed incorrectly as I have tried various different way without any luck.
George Alfred Roe born circa 1854 Middlesex, possibly Stepney
Alice Ann S Roe (nee Wintjen) born circa 1854 Stepney
Herbert Roe born 1883 Horsham Sussex
In 1883 George Roe occupation was "Gentleman"
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Regards.

??? what do you think ?
Whoops - sorry Jen - dont they do reds anymore ?

Don't know about the reds Mum but at least you are thinking the same way as I am on this one!
Traveller in 1891 - would that make him a Gentleman of the Road in 1883 ? How exciting. :)

Hi everyone ;)
Why didn't I think of that - Bertie short for Herbert?! god I really do need to get to grips with this FH again. Do you think this is a good possibility then. Did my George Roe become a traveller after being a Gentleman, umm, wonder why??
Thank you Wozzle but I do actually have the birth for my Herbert, received last week and its opened up new avenues for me, but been struggling though.
Funnily enough Ive just looked again the birth certificate whilst Im replying to this post, and it doesn't actually state an actual address for birth within the registration district of Horsham, it just says born "14th June 1883 MAPLEHURST, Northwich" - bingo it must be the same guy - hooooray, thank you to all of you that have kindly replied.
Regards.

I don't know about Mum, but I didn't think of Bertie either. I just did a search for Roe, born 1883, Sussex, parents George and Alice.
It would be a clever thing indeed if we could all anticipate the way our ancestors were put down on paper! And clever still if we could guess at some of the amazing ways in which they have been transcribed.

Did the same as you, Jen :D
Gentleman to Traveller :-\ Both of those are open to several different interpretations ::)

Hi again
Its me again - may I be so bold if you are all still online and ask if there is any chance of finding my gang in the 1901?? :P - I have found my Herbert on the 1901 living away from home, but haven't managed to locate his parents or Ernie, Im guessing it should be Ernest - Im hoping that George is dead by 1911 or at least before August 1911 - oh sorry sounds horrid of me, as if he is then this will be another plus point and another pointer towards him definitely being mine. Herbert married in 1911 and put his father as being dec'd.
Hope Im not being to cheeky, but Im desparate to find more clues to see if Im on the right track and to try and prove that George and Alice are definitely my ancestors?? - Ive already barked up the wrong tree once!
Heres hoping.

Hi Wozzle
Thank you for taking the time re my Roe's. Re a death for Alice, I seriously do not know, unfortunately I haven't got that far yet, all I know is that Herbert stated that his father was deceased at the time of 1911, but Im unaware in respect of his mother. Im presuming though there might be reference to her full name i.e Alice Ann Sellers Roe or at least the initials if she were to have died, but then possibly not :-\,
Thank you again for looking.
