Wow, amazing information, thank you so much!

So Robert Roberts was Annie and Edwards son? That is extremely useful information as I am also looking for Benjamin Roberts two older brothers that died in the war and I never knew their names. A little shocked Annie was pregnant when she was married, it would have been a big deal back then!

I am confused at Elizabeth Roberts in the 1881 census, did Annie's sister also happen to marry a Roberts and were Thomas and Maria her children?

This may be a silly question, but how do we know Edward's middle name was Thomas?   

Thanks again for all your help. I am getting married in 6 days so I will have to get my hands into this information when I get back from the honeymoon. I can't wait, you have given me so much to look into. 

Yes, I had no time to reply but was very excited to see your message. Thank you so much for your help, just to have it confirmed is fantastic as now I can order the birth certificate like you suggested and go from there. I have been looking for answers for Benjamin for a long time and didn't know how to get them but you have kindly offered your time and help and I greatly appreciate it.

The brick wall has been torn down! 

Thanks so much for the information Wilcoxon, and LOL, that tree you found is mine! I am scooting between both families that have Benjamin as a son and Edward as a father, I just can't make my mind up which family it is.

On Benjamin's marriage certificate I have, he was married 21 Feb 1920 and his age on this certificate is 21 years which puts him at a birth year of 1899, and also his death certificate, he died 27 May 1967 (age on death cert 69) which puts him at a birth year of 1898.

Do you think he is that one born in 1896, and why do you think he would lie about his age so much? If he served in the war, I'm not sure how old he was, maybe he started lying about his age before he got married and never told anyone his true age?

Sorry for so many questions, and I thank you so much for your help, I am so lost with this and I just would love to know who he was and follow his linage. 

Hello,

Please could someone lookup a death record for me for Kathleen Mabel Cratchley (nee Daniels) b. 7 Aug 1901 in Stroud. I think she died in 1993.

Thanks so much.

Sorry for not giving all the information, I didn't do it intentionally.

Unfortunately I don't know the brothers names or where they finally came to rest.

Maybe someone can confirm for me, I can only find two families in the Connah's Quay/Flintshire area that have a Benjamin as the son and an Edward as the father? Both families don't seem to fit as the one where Edward is a widow, Benjamin's birth date doesn't seem right, it should be around 1899 and there it's 1896, they also lived in Ryhl and Benjamin was living and was married in Connah's Quay. The other family has Maria as the mother but the birth date for Benjamin is also off as it is 1900 here, and Edward the father is a coal miner (and I knew he was a farm lab). Is it possible for mistakes to be made with the birth years?

Thanks so much.
