Have you found them on the 1911 census?

What was his occupation on the marriage certificate?

MarieCeleste Report 20 Feb 2014 20:05

Hello Ernie, if Lucy Helen was your gran then are you descended from children she had with another partner?

If so, then was that partner before or after Samuel?

Just trying to build the picture up - finding Helen's death may help us find Samuel's.

Ernest Report 20 Feb 2014 20:00

Samuel Roberts was born 8/10/1884 in Tisbury Donhead Wiltshire he married my gran Lucy Helen Short on the 19/03/1910 at Sevenoaks Kent At the time of this marriage Samuel was RSPCA Inspector. I am trying to find his date of death and if there were any offspring from this marriage.
I have looked into all the various people that deal with genelogy but to no avail, is there anyone out there who can help me. My gran married again on 22/11/1919 to G W Smith at Devonport Plymouth Devon. There was 1 daughter from this marriage, Gran died at Romford Essex on the 24/1/1964.
