You obviously know more than you seem willing to reveal. You do know your grandmother's name? Her birthday? An approximate marriage date could be derived from children's ages. The Children's names? Their ages in 1909 when they arrived in U.S.? There are many ways to find your information, but references to what you know would make it much easier to help you.

Hi Tod They are in Yarmouth on the 1871 but by 1891 they are in Byker Newcastle Upon Tyne Samuel and John Henry are labourers in a shipyard. The enumerator has misrecorded Samuel as being born Harrogate Yorkshire but on the 1871 he is clearly Halvergate, which after all is only a couple of miles or so outside Yarmouth. The rest of the family is correctly recorded. John Henry's bp is given as Yarmouth on the 1891 but Halvergate on the 1871. I could not find John Henry on the 1901 using Norfolk as a birth place . If he was in Byker in the NE of England in 1891, and married there perhaps the records of a regiment from the north of England /Northumbria might be the place to start-National archives online?
