Need help tying up a few loose ends - I'm looking for a marriage for Robert Henry Martin born 1880 in Newcastle upon Tyne. In 1901 he is living with his parents Jane and Robert and brother John in Newcastle but by 1911 there are two grandchildren living with Jane and Robert.
Mary Jane Martin born 1906 and John Martin born 1904.
I found a death of Robert Henry in 1905 so trying to find out if the children are his and if they are what happened to their mother.
His brother John is single in 1901 and 1911 hence I think the children are Roberts.

He married 1904 to either Margaret Diboll or Elizabeth Hagan.

Looks like it was Elizabeth
1911 58 bermondsey St newcastle upon Tyne
Robert henry martin 1880 a carter
Elizabeth 1882 married 7 years 5 kids 1 died
Winifred Ada 1910
Robert 1911.

So the death you have is incorrect.

MARTIN John Newcastle T 10b 196

Births Dec 1906 (>99%)

The Robert Henry who died in 1905 was age 0.

So the death above must have been the one that had died on 1911

Robert Henry Martin @ 1881 died 1961 in Newcastle Upon Tyne 1b 217.

Hmm ok thanks for this. I'm even more confused now about the parents of John and Mary Jane.
There is a sister of Robert Henry - Margaret Martin who married John Skinner. Maybe I've missed some other siblings.

Unless I'm reading this wrong and they are children of Robert and Elizabeth - just not living with them?

Problem now is that Token has marked this thread as answered so people won't look at it.
