There are so many Frederick J Roberts that we need more information like where and when he was last seen, wife, children, etc.

Rose

Do you know when his parents married, as the only one I can see is in Alverstoke in 1908? (Perhaps Rose was her second name?)

Do you know Frederick's exact date of birth?

Thanks

Thanks for trying to help.

Richard Aldcroft Roberts married Rose Gertrude Lake in 1908 in Alverstoke. They were both born in Warrington but Richard was in the army at Gosport.
On the 1911 census Richard was still in the army in India. Rose was with him and they had a son, William Henry Roberts (born 4 Sept 1909 died June qtr.1981 Oldham). Whilst in India they had another son, Richard Arthur Roberts (9th January 1912 died March Qtr.2005 Oldham).
My father (who is 94) believes Richard and Rose also had a daughter called Nora (I have found no trace of her).
When I got Richard seniors death certificate the informant was his son, F.J.Roberts.
I have now found a birth for Frederick J. Roberts, mothers maiden name Lake, in September quarter of 1928 in Manchester.
There is a possible marriage to Patricia A.G.Jones in 1958.
I am hoping he is still alive. Thanks for any help.

Are you going to get the birth certificate for exact date of birth?

Thanks.

I think the Chrissie birth might be a bit late. Richard (the father) was born in 1882. Also Dad says the daughter was older than him and he was born in 1918.

Thanks for the B.T.online tip. I might write a letter to that one. Hope they don't think I'm some kind of a nutter!!
