Looking for: Descendants of Florence Jenkins

In post #1 it is suggested Albert died in Kent in 1905 aged 29

That makes this Albert born in 1876

The marriage referred to in post #4to Emma Taylor took place in 1889 which would make him only13. The marriage cert has him as 24

Something is wrong here.

On the 1901 he is aged 36 which puts his birth around 1865. That would make him 40 in 1905 not 29.
On 1891 census he is 26 and a saw maker which fits
On 1881 census he is 16

This needs checking.

There's a death reg. for an Albert Edward Jenkins Mar 1908 West Brom. Age is 43 (birth Sep 1864), so a possible. Burial gives an address as 107 Birchfield Road.
 
1911 census for 107 Birchfield Road has Frank Ridsill listed (also on 1908 eroll at that address). Also listed is Mother-in-law Mary Jenkins.
I am fairly sure Mary was the name of Albert's mother.
Need to check if he had a sister Alice
Update; yes - he did Frank Ridsill married Alice Jenkins in 1895

Well done, that proves Albert died in 1908 Handsworth and not in Kent.

So is the OP's interest this Albert or the one who died in Kent?
 
Good question. Perhaps they will cone back and tell us

It seems to be the Albert that died in 1907 in Handsworth.

There are 4 Jenkins/Webb children reg. before Albert's death. Harold, as mentioned, Alice May, Edward and Walter Oswald. The 2 other boys died young as well but Alice May seems to have married a Charles Weaver.

OP also posted a message in the Gladstone Street thread where Alice was living in 1939.
