Rosa Williams was born 10 February 1865, Redditch to Henry and Ann Williams.

On 3 December 1883 Rosina Williams married Joseph Berry (1864) , B'ham Register Office

Five children, Joseph 1884, Rose E 1886, Gertrude 1887, Florence 1889, and Clare May 1890-1890.

In 1891 the family were living 156 Broad Street, Birmingham.

In 1901 Joseph was living with his mother (Sarah Jones) and three childen at 63 Friston Street.
No sign of Rosina, although Joseph is recorded as married.

In 1911 Joseph is still living with his mother at 23 Eldon Road Edgbaston. widowed.

Can anyone see what happened to Rosina ? 1901 census and death record

FreeBMD has her age as 39.

Rosina may well have reverted to her maiden name for whatever reason.
She just disappeared. 1n 1891 she had four children all under six years old. Very odd.

Can you find the other child?  He or she could be with her in 1901.

Which 3 children were with Joseph in 1901?

[rosie17]

The other child  I think it's possible is a Scholar in a protestant dissenting charity School
Birmingham Warwickshire 1901
Florence Berry age 12

In 1901 there were two children living with Joseph, Joseph (1885) and Gertrude plus his sister Elizabeth (1870).

Interesting that Florence was recorded at school, possibly boarding.

Have you checked the Warwickshire Archives ?

Florence was the youngest child, perhaps there is a record of her admission to the all girls school.

Her mother Rosina may well have suffered illness after so many children and the death of Clare May.

Do you have the death certificate for Clare May Berry - for a cause of death.

[bobtonks]

My Grandmother was Gertrude Berry born 26 July 1887. mother Rose. living back of 9 Ladywood Rd.

I have the certificates for my direct family line, births marriages deaths but not for siblings.

In 1901 Gertrude's sister, Rose (1886) possibly working as a servant 286 Haglet Rd Edgbaston living with the Jacobs family.

Still no sign of Rosina.

There is also a possibility Joseph Berry could have put wrong information about being married in the 1901 census .
Like you can not see anything on Rosina Berry after 1891 only that death as I posted for Rosina Williams
1894 with the wrong age
