Have you found Robert on the 1881 census?

Do you know of any parents or siblings?

Robert had a daughter Alice Lee born 1902 - I believe mother Amelia died around 1897

Beth,

My suggestion would be to find and obtain a copy of the marriage record--you know that he married a woman by the name of Amelia. The marriage cert should tell you the name of his father.

So the mother died before the daughter was born?

Who was Alice's mother then?

thanks for helping

How could the mother die in 1897 and the daughter was born in 1902?

Beth

Beth Report 2 Nov 2008 14:07

oops - my maths is obviously rubbish - would make Mother's death around 1907

I think you might be running ahead a little bit.

It might be best to get a birth certificate of one of Robert's chiildren to confirm both parent's names.

Then look for their marriage. Then confirm them on the census.

Hope that makes sense.


PS Where was Alice born? were there any other children?

Beth

Beth Report 2 Nov 2008 14:18

I think you are right - Alice was born in London I believe - several other children including another Amelia
