I am at a point where there are a few missing threads in my research and need to tie them up so to speak. Like for instance the family of Hughes that lived in TyCroes and then my Gr-Grandfather, Ellis ROBERTS who lived in Machynlleth, Montgomeryshire and was known as a "tailor". I have suspected he had remarried and thus making a ROBERTS marrying a ROBERTS, but wanted to check further...... I had paid for ancestry.com for a year and well most of that information I had already. Could anyone help me with this as I live in the States, and am at a standstill. Regards, Lynn Don't get caught with egg on your face. Play Chicktionary!
