with the 1904 date. That's because one of them obtained the last attachment, the record of Roberts' baptism in Crofton All Saints Parish Church (and everyone agrees he was born in Crofton). Luckily, although the baptism register only required the date of the baptism, they also recorded the birth date in the left margin. Bingo, 27-6-04
98: 586:. Although GoS is technically self-published, I have always found it to be reliable and have cited it in the past, and I believe the above demonstrates a level of research that equals any published source. However, as this goes against a current published source, I wanted to make sure there were no objections. 442:
to put the work into verifying those claims). I have removed it for those reasons, and also because it doesn't fit with what the 2012 edition of the Joyce book states (the citation previously was for the 2004 edition so this has probably been updated). The new date is a different 1906 one. Obviously,

I've an awful lot of for Roberts - probably 50 and more from 2012 to early 2015, all on the subject of his DoB. Most were a dialogue with two Leeds expert historians (Michael Joyce was kept in touch too), and with the help of these Evening Herald clippings and work that they did, we are very happy

When I wrote the thing in the first place it was clear that Joyce (2004) had to be wrong, so I went with GoS's (then) 1906. The new information makes it clear that that was wrong as well, and there's no problem with the reliability of sourcing (IMO) given the stature of the people you've been in
443:
this is also at odds with the 1904 GoS date. I've always found GoS to be a great source of information, but ultimately it is self-published, so I would always favour a published source unless there are good reasons not to. I've sent GoS an e-mail for clarification though.

I am 100% convinced that both are wrong, and that's because of the first three attachments, which show beyond doubt that he died on 18 May 1968, so he could not have been Joyce's Bramley or Bromley. It also says he was 63, which places his DoB between May 1904 and May
388: 491:
FreeBMD (also Ancestry etc) shows just one Henry Bramley, registered in Sheffield in 1906 and died in Sheffield in 1978 (with DoB of 18/6/06). It also shows just one Henry Bromley, registered in Wakefield in 1906 and died in Leeds in 1977 (with a DoB of
703: 658: 180: 503:
So it looks like the Wakefield registration has led Michael Joyce to change to Henry Bromley rather than Henry Bramley, although why he thought that either of these was our man, I don't know.

I've spoken with the guy that runs GoS and based on that information, I don't now think that Joyce is correct. I've reproduced the key bits of our conversation below:

The 2004 edition says he was Henry Bramley Roberts (not true), born in Crofton (true) on 27/6/1902 (not true) and died in 1963 (not true).
