The George Roath born in Wales is a different branch which I haven't connected up yet.

George's mother was Rosannah Edith Norberry Spinks - who was dealt with on another thread for me!

Edit,,different Roaths

THanks for the response.
It states she is Spinster - father Robert Inwood.
However, there was an older brother, Harry Roath - of whom my grandad angrily said "he's not a Roath, he's a Yapp!" and I found a memorial card among my granddad's things for Harry Yapp, died March 22nd 1926 aged 47 years.

There is this:

I wonder if George's mother's maiden name is Yapp? Depending on what question he was asked when he went to register the birth of Bertram, he may have thought the registrar wanted to know his mother's maiden name, rather than the baby's mother's maiden name.

Two - possibly three- born before the marriage !!

Does the marriage cert show her as spinster or widow?

My grandad's birth cert states the mothers name as Alice Roath formerly inwood. but his sister's birth cert states the mother's name was Alice Roath formerly Yapp.
I have the following three certs:

Bertram Roath b.8 sep 1886 father George Roath, mother Alice Roath formerly Yapp. (informant - father)

Leah Roath b.14 sep 1891 father George Roath, mother Alice Roath formerly Inwood (informant - mother)

George Roath married Alice Inwood Dec 18 1882
What do you think?
any advice welcome,thanks
