I have hit a brick wall looking for my grandfather who I did not know. He was Samual Henry Jones born 1872 or 73 he appears on the 1911 census with the whole family but I cannot find him in the birth, death and marrage records. I belive he married a Francis Davis but that is all I know. He had 5 children and he came from Birmingham. Hope someone out there can point me in the right direction to discover more.
Thanks Sue.

Which of his children is your parent?

Where have you looked for Samuel's marriage?

Was he married by 1911? If he was, you must know his wife's first name...........

It would be helpful if you gave us ALL the 1911 info

IF the above is your relative, you can now look for him in 1881............it's free

Flick

Flick Report 25 Mar 2011 16:57

No penalties until 1875 for not registering births, so he may simply not have been registered

My parent was Edward Edgar aged 2, brother Bernard aged 11 Frederick aged 10 and sister Evelyn aged 7. Samual was 38 and his wife Florence was 41. Entered his name in all the search box's with no results.
Thanks Flick
Sue.

I can understand not finding him births but no trace in death records, I understand he died before I was born which was 1945 so went backwards in records starting from then. Sue.Thanks for all the info.

But you said his wife was Francis! Incidentally spelled wrong, female name is Frances. You have also spelled Samuel's name wrong. Possibly a cause of your difficulty finding him.

Flick

Flick Report 25 Mar 2011 17:06

Why,.if you KNEW his wife was Florence, did you refer to her as FRANCES?

The marriage is above........

You know Samuel's father's name...on 1911 census

Look for them together in 1881

And you wouldn't find any bmd record if you spelled his name as you have on here..........incorrectly
