My grmother Elizabeth ROBERTS b Hare St, Romford 1871 4a 132 I have been looking many yrs for 2 boys b between 1872 - 1879 , brothers of Elizabeth , I recently checked Freebmd & found 11 boys b in Romford between those yrs . Is there any kind person who could look at church records for me . There was talk of twins . Dec Qtr 1873 shows 2 boys Henry George ROBERTS 4a 153 William James ROBERTS 4a 153 I looked at deaths but nothing showing up there . My grgrmother certainly did not have any sons with her in 1881 census nor did her husband . A real mystery as to what happened to these boys . I really would appreciate any help. June Brown

Hi June, >> Is there any kind person who could look at church records for me . If all else fails, the parish records are very likely to be available online for you to look at for yourself. http://seax.essexcc.gov.uk/EssexAncestors.aspx?selAlphabet=R&selParish=11742 It's free to find out whether the particular register is available online or not (if so, it will say "Digital Images" against it) but then you have to pay to look into the register. It costs GBP5 for 24 hours access to the whole site (cheaper rate if you sign up for longer) so save up all the Essex info you need to look for - besides BMD registers, there are wills and other documents I think - and do it all at once on a day when you can spend as much time as possible on it to get your money's worth. ;o) Regards, Jan
