John Brett Roscorla

Hi All,

First time poster here, and first time family tree researcher on Ancestry.

I'm having a real tough time researching my mother' side of the family. I have her, her father John Brett Roscorla (Died in 1975) and her mother Janet Clarke (born: abt 1953) and her mother Gladys Smith (1922 - 1987) and Janet' father William E Clarke (B: abt 1920)

However, the trouble i'm having is finding anything on Mr Roscorla. He married my maternal grandmother in 1970 in Birmingham, Warwickshire at the age of 17, and he died on 5th August 1975 (it weird' me out that he died on the day of my birth, 13 years prior.) Looking at his death record i've got the following information;

Name: John Brett Roscorla
Born on: 26th January 1953
Born in: England (no further information available)
Died on: 5th August 1975
Died in: Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham
Cause of death: chest injury with infra thoracic haemorrhage

Maiden name of woman who has married? -------
name and surname of informant: certificate received from Cecil Cudworth asst. dep. coroner for west midlands inquest held on 16th September 1975

Its threw a spanner in my works, and it's awfully confusing

Any help, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks in advance :)
