    Do you have a place of birth for Francis?

    There is a possible candidate in the 1901 census at RG13/3746/28/47 (image copyright TNA)

    Francis Heyes 14 a paper stainer, b Salford Lancs
    s of William A and Martha
    also 2 younger brothers and William A's father.

    Will look for the registrations of the marriage and the children (though they could have married in Ireland)

    Hi Heysey,
    When was the first child born please?

    There is this marriage on FreeBMD, Frank/William F possibly the same fellow?
    Dec 1911
    Heyes Frank, Salford 8d 253
    Heyes William F, Salford 8d 253
    Sheridan Mary A, Salford 8d 253

    EDIT, I see Francis W was born March 1913.

    Can't find any obvious candidates for Francis in the 1911 census. Perhaps he was in Ireland meeting Mary

    But there are several possibles for Mary Sheridan b Ireland in 1901, so I think you might have to get the marriage cert to confirm her father's name.

    Thanks for the help
    Salcat you seem to have all the children and my family is from Salford and this part of the family did move to Manchester. The part of Salford we live in is just across the border from Manchester. Francis William Heyes jnr is my grandfather but I have his date of birth as 15th Dec 1912, all but one of Francis and Mary’s children are now dead unfortunately but any more help would be gratefully received.

    You need to get some of the certificates that people have identified for you.
