Jeffs Family

Hi I'm looking for information about my Grandmother's family. She was Philipine Alexandra Irene Jeffs. She lived with her brothers and her father Alfred in the Northfield area. Nans Mother left the family so her Dad brought them up. He worked at The Austin motor company.
 
Any time frame? What years? Any addresses/road names? Brother's names? Ages/Birth years/places of Birth [of any of them]?

You haven't really given anyone much to work with have you?:courage:
 
Birth registered for Philipine Alexandra I Jeffs, Jun qtr 1908 Rugby, freeBMD.

Marriage for Alfred Frank Jeffs and Gertrude Lily Wilkes registered Jun qtr 1902 Coventry, freeBMD.

Alfred Frank Jeffs baptised 25 April 1880 at St Matthew, Rugby, parents Alfred Inkerman and Jane Jeffs, familysearch.

Alfred Inkerman Jeffs birth registered Jun qtr 1855 Daventry.
 
Alfred Inkerman Jeffs married Jane Shaw 11 Jun 1878, Dunchurch.

Apart from Alfred Frank they had Frederick James Halesworth 1879, Percy Newman 1882, Lilian May 1886, Philip Harold 1887, all baptised St Matthew Rugby.
 
Time frame, should think from about 1912 through to the 1940s. I think they lived on or near Tessall Lane at one point. Not sure how many brothers she had but remember her mentioning a Percy, Fred and Alf.
 
Thank you Journeyman. My Nan was born in Rugby so these are the right people, this is very interesting, thanks again:adoration:
