My great grandfather Fred Rodgers was born in Rotherham 1886 ... Lived in Whiston. For a bit.... Moved to woodsettes..for a while. Then ended up in worksop notts where he died in 1934.
I have been trying to use all my resources to find out when he lived in what place
1891 - 1901 Eastwood mount Rotherham ( census) until his marriage
He married in 1908 and I have found him on voters lists for just 1913...14... And 15. In whiston..
have no idea when he moved to Whiston ( On marriage certificate it gives whiston) 1908
1911- he's at The Green,Whiston age 24 forgeman at steelworks
Nor when they went to Woodsets ( near worksop notts) same for the " worksop move".
Can anyone chase him for me
He died December 1934 in worksop..
I'm hoping someone can join up the missing times for me

Hovering over "Fred Rodgers, born Rotherham, 1886" in the 1921 census there is a possible entry for such a person in Whiston. Do the names Elsie or Marion ring any bells?

Thank you Annette, I do realise that, my post was in response to the earlier post which stated
"The 2 Fred's are the same... . My great grandfather is the son of Fred and Mary ann".

My great grandfather Fred died in the mining accident at firbeck main colliery just after christmas in 1934. The news report and death certificate give his address at "Hindley House . Worksop". He is buried in st George churchyard woodsetts. I don't know how long he lived in worksop....
He is the son of Fred Rodgers ( 1856 - 1916) and Mary Ann ( n. Smith). She was born in wisbeach to John bonfield Smith and Mary ann. .... Apparently they both died in Rotherham
The Fred and fanny connection, previously mentioned they're not mine.
