    3. Hello again list; I have now found the results of a trawl through the Millet transcript (probably done in the late 1990s!) of all baptisms of sons or daughters of Benjamin Roberts I think the last Catherine is the daughter of Benjamin baptised in 1747. 2/6/1727 Jane, 28/4/1730 Benjamin, 7/4/1736 John, 29/5/1738 Joseph, 14/10/1739 Mary, 13/6/1741 Anne, 5/10/1742 Catherine, 7/10/1744 Benjamin, 4/4/1747 Abram, 4/8/1765 Catherine. I cannot find any other Benjamin Roberts in the village at this time. These are the Roberts burials I found; 6/7/1730 Benjamin, 20/5/1736 John, 5/6/1737 Benjamin, 16/5/1745 Benjamin, 6/11/1755 Sarah, 1 6/4/1800 Benjamin, 16/11/1820 Benjamin age 49, 19/3/1813 Joseph age 49,2 27/4/1828 Catherine age 85 'of Penzance' 3 1 "widow of Benjamin Roberts" 2 probably not one of mine 3 Catherine baptised 1742 above? It's still a bit of a tangle, but these are what I found. In those days it was a case of getting to Penzance or Redruth library and scouring any written material you could find. Complete sets of Phillimore for Cornwall were an absolute boon. It's foggy today in Pz. Cheers, Horton B
