Hi Terry, your grandfather’s birth detail available at the GRO website (HM Passport service) shows his mum was Daykin.
ROE, JOSEPH WILLIAM |
DAYKIN |
GRO Reference: 1902 D Quarter in AUCKLAND Volume 10A Page 255 |
However, it becomes a little confusing then, I cannot find a marriage between a Daykin and a Roe
Maud Ada Daykin married Richard Williams in 1892 in Auckland, Durham:
"England and Wales Marriage Registration Index, 1837-2005," database, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2DNH-D6N : 6 January 2015), Maud Ada Daykin, 1892; from "England & Wales Marriages, 1837-2005," database, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : 2012); citing 1892, quarter 3, vol. 10A, p. 290, Auckland, Durham, England, General Register Office, Southport, England.
A Maud Williams did not marry a Joseph William Roe until 1924 but these would be your grandparents, not your great grandparents?
My best advice would be to join up for Familysearch and GRO Index (both are free) and start with yourself and work backwards finding sources. I will try to help you if I can, intriguing!
