Barry, thank you that could be it. If this is the one I am after her married Clara Turner in 1883 and had a daughter Gertrude. If I can find the marriage cert on line and it shows his as Benjamin then thats him. I now know why in 1891 gertrude was with relatives.

Re: John Arthur Roebuck burial 1884

correction Gertrude was born in 1883 I think John married Clara in 1880ish

Hi John,

Just to give you a nudge.......

His burial is in our Database for Burngreave. You will note that his first name was abbreviated to Jno. That is how it appears in the grave book.

Have you tried looking under our marriages?

We have well over a million entries in the combined database.

PS. If we have not transcribed the material many of us have CD's etc that we have collected over the years and can search.

Found the marriage on FMP and father was Benjamin but he must have added Arthur himslf because he was only born registered John.

Benjamin Roebuck married Hannah Charlesworth in 1856
