Does anyone have any info on John Roberts born abt 1699 married Leah Harry 1721 and died 1775, the same year as Abraham (my relation) his son. All Blacksmiths. I think his father also a John Roberts. I have their children's names. A fire went through Paul church when Spanish invaders came and a lot of records lost. I have hit a brick wall. Which town did they come from before Paul? Another Abraham came to Australia in 1853 and did very well opening a Foundry in Bendigo, Victoria. >From Diane Penberthy, sent from my iPad.

Hi Diane If John Roberts bp 20 Aug 1699 at Paul was the son of John Roberts and Joan Periam, his parents were married on 2 Jan 1697/8 at Gwennap, although the groom was from Paul.

Hello Diane and the list; I am interested in this, as I am descended from a Benjamin Roberts baptised at Paul on 16th November 1701. he was also a blacksmith, and was buried at Gulval in 1793. He made a will in 1769 proved in June 1893 0f which I have an approved copy. He was also a blacksmith as were his son Joseph (1738 - 1811) and grandson Benjamin (1772 - 1820). My original Benjamin was either the son of Thomas Roberts baptised 21 October 1670 or the son of Richard baptised on 26 September 1671, both at Paul. I have the marriage of John Roberts to Cattren Roche on 31 January 1690 at Paul, which may be the relevant one. I also have a note of John son of John baptised 16 August 1699 at Paul, which I think links to your query, and possibly more of your family. The younger Benjamin married Frances Bolitho in 1800, who although I cannot entirely prove it I am sure was a sister to my 3xg-grandfather Thomas Bolitho. Benjamin and Frances are my direct ancestors; their granddaughter Annie Roberts James became my grandma Hutchens, who I vaguely remember. Another footnote, Joseph Roberts' widow died in April 1812, 4 months after him, and before the will was proved - bad luck Elizabeth!
