thank you Lindsey, this information was very interesting

I have also viewed them on the 1901 Census. my grandfather moved to Grimsby in 1918 and never really gave much information about his brother which is why i am trying to find out if and whom he married and when he died

This obviously doesn't tie in with Charles having died in 1917.

hi Meg

Charles father was definitely Charles Ernest ,married to Rose staples ne Butt

As far as i know Charles junior was Charles Ernest and not Charles Edward

many thanks for your help

Hi Margaret

This sounds most likely as he was almost certainly Charles Ernest

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 30 Aug 2010 01:14

There's a tree on Ancestry that has Charles Ernest Staples born 1892, Islington, son of Charles E. Staples & Rose J. Butt. No marriage or death info though.

Gillian Report 30 Aug 2010 01:19

yes thats the right family and also just realised the other Charles that Meg had "Charles Edward" son of Henry Staples (french poliosher) was probably the cousin of my Charles as my great grandfather Charles senior had a brother called Henry who was a french polisher
