Beulah Roberts born approx 1903 in the Chester/Cheshire/Birkenhead area I think. Siblings were Dorothy and Exuperious. She married George McClaren? they had a daughter called Heather

She's likely deceased ... so you're trying to find ... whom, then?

Her ancestors, her descendants?

If you're related, is it to one of her siblings? If so, you would know her parents' names ...

As the instructions say, please give *all* info you have!

no Beulah Roberts was born c1903 in England/Wales.

One born 1897 in Aston, married 1919 in Leigh. That's the only one.

This is that one in 1911

With a name like that, you need use only the name to search for his birth and marriage!

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

The marriage was in 1899 in Chester, probably to Dora Elizabeth Spear.

Still don't know what you're looking for! ;)

Not in touch with anyone thanks everyone for you help. New to using the board

Susan, my point was that someone probably related has corrected the name in the 1901 census at Ancestry, so if you don't know that person, you probably want to! ;)

You can take out a 14-day free trial at Ancestry to do some searching, and send that person a message through the Ancestry system (probably wise to include your email address).



Joseph ... I already posted the 1901 census, and FBG posted the 1911 showing Beulah's actual name and that she was born well after 1901. ;)

What I was saying JC was...
Even though we knew she was born earlier than 1903 as found by me on 1911 and you with her birth ref with the details taken from it ,it would seem that whoever informed on her death as posted by you did not know her REAL year of birth and they just guessed at 1906.....sigh...

And in reality she was just a couple of years off getting her telegram from the Queen congratulating her on reaching 100 years old as she was in fact 98 (if my maths are correct)when she died NOT 95......bigger sighhhhhhh.

Wonder if the Queen sent her own mother a telegram when she reached 100 years old....

JaneyCanuck Report 6 Apr 2011 12:33

FBG ... she was born in 1909.

She was 93 when she died, not 99 ... or 95 ...

Ooooooooo yes...and even though you knew I was rubbish at figures before now you have it on record for certain...
I should have stayed awake more often in maths lessons,but the teacher in "big school"(Dear Mrs Rees)was a total waste of space,could not control her class and was sooo boring that she could not inspire me to take any interest in the subject.
Besides which she put the answers on the board so quickly that I just wrote them down and didnt bother trying to work it all out for myself...

And primary school maths was just as bad...But really I know I am just rubbish at the subject...
