Benjamin was born around 1902/03 in Oldbury to Maud and Benjamin - We only recently found him on the 1910 census so did not know he existed.
He would be fathers uncle, but since my father lost his father young we never knew of Benjamin. He had an elder sister; Gladys, and younger sister Evelyn who died shortly after birth, and a brother Harold - Anyone know of him or anything?
Would like to find what happened to him...
What we have found/guessed/heard ; he may have ran a pub in the thirties called Brades Tavern
Possibly married Jane Davies also in thirties - however this is total guess from records found online, no proof it's the correct Benjamin. Parkes was a very popular name in the Black Country

Thanks for any help!
