Rosannah Nicholls - help

If possible, I would really appreciate some help/opinions.

I trying to find the family of Rosannah Nicholls (c1910) who married (c1927) Sydney Smith (born c1902 - c1981), and lived in Tipton.

I think I have found her in 1911 census (living 3 Brown Street, Tipton) with her father Daniel Nicholls (born c1877, Bilston)and Mother Clara, I have then gone back through the censuses and tracked Daniel and Clara back - all fine, here si the 1901 census result.

1901 census - http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=uki1901&...

Except I have since spoken to another family member who gave me some more info and I am not sure how to tie it in.

New info is:

Rosannah Nicholls dad (no name known) was a steeplejack who died at work in his 40's(Daniels jobs do not tally), her mom (no name) remarried and went on to have more children, known siblings are Mary, Lucy, Af, plus the half sisters Elizabeth, Clara and another name unknown boy. Rosannahs mom died having her 13th child.

Rosannah married Sydney when she was very young 17/18 as she was 'in service' and lost her job by coming back late to many times so Sydney married her.

I am trying to put something together as a birthday present in a couple of weeks and don't want to give false info so any help/advice would be greatlt appreciated.

Thank you
Nicola
