Hello,
I'm looking for anyone who knows anything about the following people.
Arthur John Brown was born (possibly) in Canterbury, Kent around the 1880's or 1890's. His family came from Canterbury owned a tobacconist shop.
Arthur married Zella Beatrice Pidduck in 1912 in Whitstable, Kent.
Some time in their married life they lived at 78 Cecil Road, Rochester, Kent.
Their children were: Vera (b.1915), Doris (b.1916), Phyliss (b.1918), Eric, Donald (b.1926) and Joyce (b.1926).
Vera married and her and her husband had 7 children: Tony, Margaret, June, Sally, Valery and 2 more sons. Vera died at about 50 years old.
Doris married William Allen and they had two children: Maureen (b.1938) and Peter (b.1943). Doris died in 2002.
Phyliss died in her 20s and was unmarried and childless.
Eric married Julie and they had 7 children (all boys): John, David, Paul, Colin, Alan, Eric and 1 more son. Eric died in his 70s.
Joyce married Harry and they had 2 or 3 children. Joyce died at bout 33 years old.
Donald married Barbara and had 11 children (including 2 sets of twins): Christine, Janis, Sandra, Marion, Linda, Valery, Dennis, Donald, Michael, Andrew, Steven and 1 more son.

Have you got a copy of the marriage certificate for Arthur and Zella?
That would give his father's name and occupation and show Arthur's age. These facts would help identify the correct family in the census.
