Robert and Helen's marriage cert should give you his father's name and occupation which will help to find him in the census.

If you want to go further back, I think you need to get Henry Burnley Roberts birth cert - this would give you his mother's maiden name which would help in find his parents' marriage.

Hi can anyone help?
Trying find anyone doing a research on Roberts families from St Pancras & Kent.
My GG Grandfather Henry Burnley Roberts was born 1874 Chatham Kent his father was born in St Pancras, London.
Henry Roberts married Florence Claisse in London and they had 5 children John, William, George, Mary and Winnifred.
Any information would be a great help as Roberts name is difficult to research as there are so many Roberts out there.

Many Thanks

Mick & Karen
