William Henry Bolton Wroe

[Melidon]

My grandfather, with a name like that I thought I wouldn't have any trouble finding him

I know he was born in 1845 in Manchester, he married my grandmother Ada Elizabeth Luckock (widow) 9th June 1913, he was a widower. He was 68 she 32. The address on marriage cert is Gomm Street, West Gorton. His father is Thomas and occupation was velvet dyer (deceased).

I've searched everywhere I can think of, (the usual route), til I'm dizzy, so I hope there is someone out there with any information about him or the family Wroe .

He is listed on marrige cert to my Nana as builders labourer, that would fit with the joiners in 1901. It's a bit like a jigsaw with no picture to help.
1851 is definitely the family, but I couldn't seem to find them in 61. Will send for a marriage cert for 71 and see if the details match.

Many thanks for your help, amazing what a fresh pair of eyes can find
