The marriage and the births of any children can be found on freebmd, but it does not look like there were any more unless either parent remarried?

There don't appear to be any more children in this marriage.

ok i will ask my aunt if he was an only child. would i have to get both is parents birth certificates to find out who their parents were?

That's often the case, but the names are reasonably unusual, so you might find them on census reports. I would recommend their marriage cert though to get fathers' names and occupation for herbert.
Hang onto these just in case!

PM from Charlotte:

hi how did you find the household info, i've tried freebmd and got no where. the 1889 is correct. but i've noticed on the list you given me on this thread there is no head ( father ) in the household. it says the mother was a window? is there a way i could find his fathers name? herberts dad.

Charlotte, as there are a couple of possibles you really need Albert's birth cert to make sure you have correct parents.

Here is the family 1891, just hang onto this in case it turns out to be correct.

Hi Linda,

It may be better for you to contact Charlotte directly by clicking on her name as she may not be checking for anymore replies. Cx.

Hi linda, i think we spoke back in 2004 or 2003 iv always thought of getting back in contact with you again. i think we looked at each others trees and we both said there was no connection between us two. but the information you have given me is correct. im researching the Press/Starck & Mitchell & Tanners for my aunt ( Press ). It would be better to email me x

Hi rather than starting a new thread but want to get more info on herberts family. Could anyone tell me if his father Alfred press has any brothers or sisters? and does herberts grandad james have any siblings? thank you .
