    Default Osborne Whitley Rhoades (Whitley Court?)

    Hi everyone,



    I am looking for my great great grandfather Osborne Whitley Rhoades who I believe lived in Whitley Court in Worcestershire. I know he was born 1881 and married in 1904 to a Lucy Lousia Mayes. They had two sons and a daughter together. He also served in the south staffordshire regiment in WW1. I am trying to find out what his parents names, date of births, and occupations are.



    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Could this be him in 1891?

    This looks like his birth registry.



    Name: Wickley Osbourn Rhoades Year of Registration: 1881 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Bromsgrove County: Hereford and Worcester, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire Volume: 6c Page: 408



    To establish his date of birth, and parents names, you will need to buy his birth certificate.

    Yes the second one is him, with a misspelt name in the registry. but everywhere I have looked to try and find his parents I have had no luck whatsoever.

    Thanks for the info kimmy but I am a little confused about the other names.



    As far as I am aware Osborne married Lucy Lousia Mayes in 1904, at some point aswell he was living in Whitley court in worcestershire. I was told by his son Robert Charles Rhoades before he died that his father's occupation was classed as a gentleman, meaning he had no need to work.



    Everytime I have tried to access his files I have been denied access as if he were an A list citizen. I have spoken to a couple of geneologists at my local library, and they were the ones who said if I had been blocked access to the files he was more than likely an A list person meaning what I had been told about him being a gentlemen would possibly be true.

    Hi Plodder,



    It is possible that his job in earlier years was not the same as in his later years. He could have inherited either land or money.



    Obtaining his marriage certificate will give you his occupation not long after the 1901 census. It will also give you his father's name and occupation.



    Marriages June 1904

    Hi Plodder,



    I think this is him in 1901. Which means the 1891 census I posted is most likely him mistranscribed (same birth place)



    Name: Osborne W Rhodes Age: 20 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1881 Relation: Boarder Gender: Male Where born: Belbroughton, Worcestershire, England

    I think that I am going to get hold of the marriage certificate as soon as I can, Would I have to get it from the church records?



    Thanks for the help aswell, i have been finding it very difficult to find any information out about him.
