Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help with deciphering Fathers Firstname
« on: Saturday 22 December 12 19:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hello  :)

      Many thanks to all the prompt replies. George it is then. Pity really, if it had been John (very unlikely) I would have found him and Martha in an earlier census. George is also not a current family name.

      Merry Xmas.

                        Will.

Hello,

      I would like help in deciphering the firstname of Frederick Roberts father in the attached Marriage certificate. You will also see that he was deceased at this time.

      Many thanks for any assistance.

       Kind regards and Merry Xmas.

                         Will Roberts

Hello Jeanette,

   Many thanks for your reply. I have ordered Frederick Roberts marriage certificate to see if that gives any clues to their father and mother. I don't know if Gozza53 is still on here. I will need to obtain the records from the Workhouse for 1860 to 1870.

     Regards,

                 Will.

Hello,

     I have just started researching my family history and in the 1871 Census my Ancestor Frederick Roberts is listed as being resident in the Wolstanton and Burslem Union Workhouse as a Pauper aged 11 (born abt 1860) and immediately below is a John Roberts aged 9 (born abt 1862)which I presume to be his brother. In the 1881 Census both boys have left the Workhouse and are Lodgers in the Wolstanton Area and both are Bakers.
     I am presuming the Workhouse staff provided the training to allow them to become bakers, Frederick Roberts went on to own the Brindley Ford Bakery and it remained in the family until the 1930's.
    I have only looked at the Census records so any more information anybody can help me with would be gratefully received. My cousin has just found some old photographs which we are trying to match to our relatives.
I live in Swindon and hope to visit the area in late June.

    Kind regards,

            Will
