Where have you looked? You can search 1911 census by occupation (for the father) |

I think the person Elliot is looking for is Frederick Rogers. It is the son of Frederick's wife who would have been born with the surname Leeds. |

1901 census shows three Fredericks with no second name whose fathers are also Frederick |

You've mis-read the request, Shirley |

It is Alan's step-father, Frederick Rogers, who Elliot is looking for details of. |

Although this doesn't help with details for Frederick, I think this is Matilda on the 1911 census living with her married sister and family:- |

Only thing I can suggest is to get Matilda's death cert of 1955 to see if it helps |

Yes Shirley, thats Matilda in 1901 and I have found her on the 1911 too, its not the one kindly cited by Kath and I'll try not to complicate the issue any more but by 1911, both Matildas natural parents had died and she was living with her step-parents and had taken their name (Parks), she had a little brother and it was because of him that I found her on the 1911 as although her name had changed to Parks, he still had their original name of Leeds: |

Can you post the names of the witnesses on the marriage certificate, also the addresses given by the bride and groom |

While I think of it, Reggie mentioned that you can search the 1911 by occupation, can you do that on this website? If so, could you tell me how please? (Im probably being really dim, sorry) lol |

Elliot did you see I posted Matilda's death of 1955 ? |

I'm not sure if you can search the 1911 census by occupation on Genes but you can on Findmypast. There is no Frederick Rogers in the 1911 census with the occupation of stoker or scaffolder but their occupations could have changed several times between 1911 and the 1922 marriage. |
