Hi, Yes I have all there births certs & there is no father entered. Mum always had the small version, so didnt really think anything of it.
The eldest child is Ronald Edward Roe, & the others all have King as their middle name.

Sorry about the delete that was me, pressed the wrong button.

Unless the Kings are still family friends then I don't think you are ever going to find out.

You could check the electoral registers for the address in Norwich and see how many males were registered there - but the father of the children may not have lived there - it could have been grandparents that the children were taken to visit.

Have you got your mother's birth cert or any of her siblings birth certs? If so who is named as the father on them?

We have found out that my mother & her 4 siplings ( one older, 3 younger) were not fathered by her mothers husband, as he died 2 years before she was born. She is 85 years old & was always told by her mother that he died in 1931, when in fact he died in 1921 from wounds he received in the first world war.
Mum was born in Norwich & her mothers name was Gertrude Laura Roe, husband Charles William Roe. The children concerned were born in 1920, 23, 26 twins, 30.
All children except the oldest has the middle name of King.
Mum & her siplings were taken to a family of Kings who lived at no 4 Ashby Road in Norwich, they were told they were family friends. One of these had to be the father but how do I find out who. Im I trying to find out the impossible or could you advise me on a possible way that may help.
If you need anymore info I will try to give it.
My cousin has been seaching for the answer in Norwich but seems to have come up against a brick wall,
I hope you can help, many thanks, Janice
