This what I know so far:- My Grandmother Lois Marples was born in Sheffield in 1907/8 and married Alfred Pugh in 1932 at Ecclesall Bierley church - ? DOB or Birth Cetificate.. Her parents were Lois / Louise Marples (Clarke)- Born 27/10/1872, and John William Marples- Born 1871. They married in 1891 and had 4 children - Leonard B.1893 in ?Bolton, Bessie B. 1893 in Sheffield, Lois (my grandmother) B.1907/8 in Sheffield and John William B.1910 in Sheffield. During the 1901 census they lived at 62 Burnaby Street.
I have only just started on this journey so would be very grateful if anyone could help me at all.
Thank you
