What were there occupations?

how old were they when they married? Was Ada's surname Robert or Roberts - you give both spellings in your message

Grrrrr Have just been directed by someone to your other request for help where you have given Frederick's age. Would help if you could post all you already have clearly so people who try to help don't duplicate efforts DO you want answers on this thread or the other one?

I thought Frederick Rodds dad was called EDWIN - didn't we spend an age looking for him the other night? Edwin Rodds and Lucy Hardman???? Merry

Merry - we spent HOURS looking for these , Yes! Frederick 1880=/-1 was born of Edwin and Lucy Rodds Nee Hardman in Leicestershire. it lucy and edwin that cant be found in 1891 and 1901 although edwin may be dead.When Did EDWIN turn into FREDERICK??

Yes Jess - HOURS!! Merry

got frederick rodds and ada,s marriage cert fredericks dad was also called frederick he was a baker and was dead when they got married in 1910 ada,s dad was charles william roberts and was a labourer in a tin factory at time of marriage ada was living at 74 mole street,sparkbrook b,ham frederick was living at 2 back of 42 laurel place alfred street balsall heath b,ham still waiting for fredericks birth cert so have no idea who fredericks dad married so sorry for confusion im not very good at all this thank you to every one who has taken time to help me angie xx

well, that has totally befuddled me. so are we not looking for lucy and edwin Rodds any more? Have you got Frederick 1880ish birth cert - who is his father? who is his mother?

Strange that this new mysterious Frederick is a baker. Wasn't that Edwin's occupation? Are we saying that Fred junr just gave the wrong name for his dad when he got married in 1910.......??? Maybe because his dad had vanished off the face of the earth shortly after 1881 and Fred couldn't remember his first name? Merry

Yep, Edwin was a baker

I quit. Angela has asked for a look up on a look up thread, after all the work we have put in

im totally confused aswell think i will give up the frederick i first looked up did live with edwin and lucy but obviously this wasnt my frederick some were on some census there are 2 frederick rodds living in the same house one as head and one as son angie xx

where - which census? I cannot find one FREDERICK RODDS on any cenus anywhere (except the one in 1881 with parents edwin and Lucy)

When you say: ''the frederick i first looked up did live with edwin and lucy but obviously this wasnt my frederick'' I don't think it's obvious at all.....many people got their dad's name wrong on their marriage cert.....often when the family had been broken up for some reason or the father had been dead a long time. The occupation matches. Merry

well i cant believe it it says on fredericks marriage cert that his dad was frederick rodds he must of been born and he must of died whats going on with my family always knew we wernt normal i appolagise for upsetting people but felt i needed all the help i could get and by the look of it i did need it i do appreciate all the help and if you give up on me i understand hugs angie xx

have you considered that maybe Fredricks father cleared off or died soon after frederick was born and he had NO IDEA who his father was? The frederick we found with Lucy and Edwin was even BORN about the right time

thank you merry for the tip i didnt know this could happen still waiting for fredericks birth cert and hopefully it will put things in order i do hope so as this is also driving me mad angie xx

gosh didnt think of that either jess how terrible cant wait to get birth cert to see who his mother was should be hear monday angie xx

well, should be interesting! If its edwin and Lucy we cant find them after 1881 If it fredrick , then we cant find him anyway...... lets wait and see (prob be completely different!)
