I don't think that IS him Nicky as the children don't 'fit'. But I hadn't seen that one. There do seem to be a lot of John Roaths in the records considering how unusual the name is.
'My' John married three times to Rosanna, Dessey and Harriet (and THAT search proved complicated enough but was eventually solved thanks to help on here!)
but thanks anyway

On the marriage cert to Roseanna, who is shown as John's father and what occupation.
Who were the witnesses?

EDIT If this is him and the year of birth is correct 1837, he may not have been registered, birth registeration only came in on July 1st 1837...and wasn`t compulsory until later, many people were not registered..

Researching:
Furniss/Furness in Lancashire,Critchett in Devon and London, Keemish/Camish/ Kemish from Hampshire then Cambridge, Copper and Godden in Kent, Spink/Spynk in Norfolk and Cambridge

The Roath lot are proving very difficult!
I can't send for the birth cert of John Roath until I can find his birth.
I have:
John Roaf as the father of George Frederick b1857 B'ham - a burnisher (b cert)
John Roath age 20 m Roseanna Spinks in 1857 (m.cert)
John age 22 on 1861 census

age 31 on 1871 census

died 1920 age 82
Then there is a John James Roath b 27 Nov 1833 on IGI but the age isn't consistent with what I;ve found.
ANy idea what my next step should be please? I'd really appreciate advice here.
Thanks
Jill
