Added from the other thread.

Ellen is trying to find any addresses for Joseph P Robb in Blackpool c1957- c1965.
Also did he have any other children.

As far as I'm aware, Blackpool ER aren't indexed on-line. You'd need to track them down and visit. As they are listed by address rather than name, you'd have to trawl through every entry.

Unless he was named as the father on a BC, it's almost impossible to say if he fathered any other children.
I've checked the indexes for ROBB births then had a look to see if they have also been indexed under the mother's name. There are none in the time span within the Blackpool reg indexes.

Did his widow say if he had been previously married?

Have you searched all members trees to see if anyone has him listed? They may be related.

If you tell us a bit more about what you're trying to achieve, it may prove easier to help you

And please delete the additional thread you have posted......one per topic is stipulated in site guidelines.

Thank you

How much have you researched Ellen? An Aunt might imply the wife of his Uncle which makes things a little awkward.

If it helps - census - deleted. Wrong George! :-(

Sorry for the abrupt departure.

There are no further ER in Edmonton for Joseph Robb

Ellen was Joseph's aunt it said on navy forms, interesting to see his brother joined him later... Have been trying to trace this family for years, your obviously very good at this, I'm so interested but must admit a bit clueless.... Thank you so much for any help tho xx

Sorry -New Tricks is on TV. I'm off!!! :-D :-D

Answer to your Joseph Robb query answered! Unless you know differently, he was probably a boarder

If your focus is Joseph he won't be living with Ellen after 1956 as she had died. She's probably on the 1956/7 ER if the forms had been completed before her death.
