I don't know the dates of birth for my gt. grand parents Frederick Barlow and his wife Elsie May Griffiths. I just found their marriage details 25/12/1910. I will also need to find their children but they don't seam to be on any census. They could not write would that have an impact?

Their children are on FreeBMD.

Put in Barlow and the mother's maiden name to find them. There are several Barlow/Griffiths births. You will need birth certs to figure out which children are theirs.

I have a picture of a grave stone that say's ' Emma Barlow (nee. Binns) DOD 15/11/1920 age 58 also Thomas her husband DOD 20/7/1935 age 76. Also their son Harry Husband of Jane DOD 20/1/1924 age 38' This is the only information I have, except that my Nan who has been right so far, does not think Harry had a different real name.
The only close match is John H Barlow DOD mar-june 1924 Aston 6d 643 but his wife's name Lillian May Holtom does not match with any family knowledge or his grave

Frederick was Harry And Elizabeth's Brother.

Elizabeth Barlow DOB C. 1878
unmarried had Helen Livinia Barlow DOB C. 1898
Married ' Snowy' Wright Died in ww1
Child Lily Wright DOB C. 1900
Married Fred Hill
Children
Olive Emma Hill DOB Dec 1921
Charlie Hill DOB sept 1924
Malcom Hill Sept 1932

There's no birth for a Helen Livinia Barlow but there is this:

Births Sep 1905
BARLOW Ellen Lavinia Birmingham 6d 189

She married Alfred Kindon and died in 1988. Does this sound correct?
