I believe that my grandfather Rooke was from Yorkshire. I don't even know his first name and tracing him is difficult as he never married my grandmother!

That a nuisance. My grandmother is living as a nursechild in 1891 and a lodger with the same family in 1901. I have her marriage cert and she gives her fathers name as Charles Douglas a photographer
I have her birth cert and father is Charles Douglas photographer mother is Maria Douglas formerly Smedley. No sign of a marriage or deaths or them on the census . Maria registered grans birth.
I never knew gran, she died when I was 2 but my cousin who was 15 years older than me said our gran was brought up by aunts. I think they must have been of the non related " aunts" we all had when we were young

My grandmother (maternal) is shown on various birth certicates for her children, as a laundress or housekeeper. I need to check the electoral rolls to see who was at the address :-(

Have you found your grandmother on any census Allan

Allan Report 4 Mar 2012 21:33

Yes, I have her on the 1911 Census living with her husband. As both of them were Catholics, and given the period, I assume they just parted for whatever reason but never divorced. On my gran's Death Certificate, she is shown as the widow of her husband (if that makes sense)

That makes sense Allan being Catholic and the time period.

My husbands gt uncle died in WW1 and his widow had a baby 13 months later naming him as the father. Sadly she died of Puerperal Fever and the baby died too. Had the baby lived she would have thought she had the same father as the other children

Look at the census images Allan you might find him living next door. Or look for all with his surname living in the same area
