Bob I don't know if I have corresponded with you previously about the Roach/Roches in my grandmother's line.  Henry Roach was a contemporary of your Michael, born 1811 Freystrop per several census..  I never found him in 1841 though, and can't say if he is related to Michael, although I think a good possibility. He died 1885 H'west. Sometimes families move together, so here is a brief accounting of where I have documented my Roaches: His wife Sarah was born in LLangwm (various spellings) as were all his children, the eldest being Henry too, born 1845, who married Ellen/Helen Birch my ggmother's sister. The first 5 of 13 children were born in H'west. Henry II changed the spelling of the name to Roche, and moved to Bedminster/Bristol, Somerset where 8 more children were born. Most of them married in that area, except Florence married in 1886 Walsall Staffordshire; Bernard married 1910 Worksop, Notts. That is all.

I had done a check of the book at the Library but couldn't find him, but it is (sort of) good to hear that you cannot find him either as I was wondering if I had missed him in the book. Betty Thanks for you message. Yes he could turn up in some parish outside Pembrokeshire, especially if his father also worked for HM or was a seaman. I have  done some checking of other areas but not found him as yet.
