Carol ..........I'm not so sure you've found the right Frederick in 1901 There is a birth reg for a Frederick William Rolph in Romford ( which is the covering district of Barking) Jennifer ........There are a few people here on genes who have this Frederick in their tree...... you can contact them and see if he fits into your tree. I wondered if maybe his surname was Alban . I say this because I've had one or 2 in my line who were illigetamate and the mothers married within months and the children kept the surname they were reg with as a middle name and tagged the step fathers surname n the end!! Just a thought another avenue to explore :)) Much happiness Debi

Hi Jennifer I am going to throw a spanner in the works as I have found a family living in Brighton, Sussex - which is only a short distance away from Steyning. I may, of course, be on the wrong track. 1901 England Census about Freddy Rolfe Name: Freddy Rolfe Age: 7 Estimated birth year: abt 1894 Relation: Son Father's name: William Mother's name: Rose Gender: Male Where born: Brighton, Sussex, England Civil parish: Brighton Ecclesiastical parish: Brighton St Paul County/Island: Sussex Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Brighton Sub-registration district: West Brighton ED, institution, or vessel: 40 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 42 Household Members: Name Age Freddy Rolfe 7 Lily Rolfe 14 Lizzie Rolfe 19 Maud Rolfe 4 Nelly Rolfe 10 Rose Rolfe 42 William Rolfe 44 Father William Rolfe (possibly incorrect spelling) given as fisherman and not mechanical engineer. Possible death for a son of Frederick and Louisa Main - exactly same christian names as his father - and born in 1920 just after parents married!! Exact Search Results - England & Wales, Death Index: 1984-2005 View Record Name Birth Date Death Registration Month/Year Death Age (est) DISTRICT Inferred County View Record Frederick Richard A Rolph 15 Sep 1920 Feb 2001 80 Winchester Hampshire Will have another look later.

thanks to all for your time. i dont think the frederick w rolph is him. i cant seem to match more than one thing with him, a few with william as dads but wrong occu , and its poss his dad died before 1901. i cant even find a birth for him with those initials, very vexing,.i never thought he could be illegit, people always come up with good ideas on here, thanks to all,
