Find Ancestors

I have followed Edward back and do not find him with a George at all,I make his father Edward and mother Elizabeth.,but Im not good at making connections !

It has to be there somewhere,but I just cant see it.

George born Bilston and Edward (1823)born west brom.

Your right the connection has to be somewhere.
Alice Roberts was registered twice on 1901 cenus. Her birth parents my great - great grandparents died after 1901 and before 1911 they were Edward and Ann Roberts, although in one of the census she was known as Hannah.
In 1911 census Martha Roberts is showing as mother of above i.e Issac Bates. Martha was married to Samuel Bates who is Issac Bates father. I am presumming he died and Martha married George Roberts, who I believe had his own children - maybe also widowed and he had children already. This must be where all the history lies!!!
