    Edward (Ned) Robinson 1901 born in Lanchester Durham

    No, he appears to be the son of a Thomas Robinson and an Elizabeth A Hails. The reg. of his mmn as Hailes is the only instance for their family around that time. They are in Consett in 1939 with I assume Elizabeth's father.

    Edward (Ned) Robinson 1901 born in Lanchester Durham

    As Jean marries in 1946 and they are in Lanchester in 1939 it would seem to be the range for when they moved to Bham. I think they are on the 1945 at 58 Tennyson Road and remain there. It also appears the name of the 5th and youngest child is Edna as she is listed there with her husband...

    Maureen was reg. with mmn Hailes as well, Dec qtr 1929, hence my query with her and Russell. Not sure about the fifth child. Four definites are Frederick Bird, Jean Featherstonhaugh, Maureen and Mary.

    Edward (Ned) Robinson 1901 born in Lanchester Durham

    Seems to be the right family. There is a marriage for an Edward Robinson to a Mary A Hailes reg. Sep 1925 Durham. Five children, all registered Lanchester - Frederick B, Jean F, Russell, Maureen and Mary though Russell and Maureen are reg. in consecutive quarters of 1929 so something not quite...

    Edward (Ned) Robinson 1901 born in Lanchester Durham

    I think they are still (or back) in Lanchester in 1939. There is a death for an Edward Robinson Mar 1977 Bham, dob 8 Jan 1901. Searching the 1939 register for such brings up an Edward Robinson living at Deneside, Lanchester. Also there are a Mary A Robinson (wife) and a Mary Robinson b1931...

    Finding Relatives of Lance Corporal Frederick Jones B Company 1st Northamptons - help please

    So it is a Frederick J Jones and not Frederick W Jones? There is a birth reg. for a Frederick John Jones Mar qtr 1882, son of a John Robert Jones and an Ann Collins. He had several siblings and they lived in Sparkhill up to 1911. Family are there but he isn't. Can't be sure where is he in 1911...

    Who do you tip?

    I used to tip my old barber but not the one I have now, they charge enough as it is. Never tipped my mechanic, never had a tailor but leave a tip if I eat out.

    Finding Relatives of Lance Corporal Frederick Jones B Company 1st Northamptons - help please

    Is this him? Gives an address in Ilford. And searching with name and Regimental number gives other records with a next of kin. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/1262/records/4781596?tid=&pid=&queryId=1ad041aa-27a7-4a86-8ff1-49073d4b13d6&_phsrc=qdj54284&_phstart=successSource

    Hughes Evelyn Margaret

    Not really relevant but... Evelyn's maternal grandfather was a John Reading, a jeweller, and seems to have been well to do. His death in 1886 was reported in the papers. He lived on Ravenhurst Road (Ryde House) Harborne. He left nearly £5000. And her paternal grandfather was an Ellis Hughes...

    1841 census

    On findmypast you can search using the street name but no one likely comes up. Probably just another family that were missed by or avoided the census takers.

    1841 census

    They appear to be too old to be the people the OP is looking for. They're on the 1851 census, aged 36 & 38, with 4 young children.

    Hughes Evelyn Margaret

    As mentioned by Janice above, it was on findmypast. Strange, I couldn't find her on the 1921 census at all.

    Hughes Evelyn Margaret

    In 1911 her birthplace is incorrectly listed as Bham. She is listed as a Hospital Nurse in Bham, I assume at a hospital.
