    3. Hi Listers, In my wife's line we have a Jane ROBERTS born in Liverpool marrying a James Anthony WHITE in Wharfedale, Yorks in 1876 and on the marriage certificate Jane's father is William ROBERTS a joiner. After considerable searching we have located what we think is the right family in the 1871 census with William and his wife Elizabeth living at 21 Louisa Street, Everton (parish of St Georges) RG10/3817, Folio 93 page 30) and William's occupation is wheelwright and his birthplace is given as Caernarvon. Also present is Jane the daughter aged 16 and she is described as a nursemaid. These facts seem to fit as in later life Jane used to attend families for a month when babies were born and it was always quoted that her parents came from north Wales. At the time of the 1881 census the family has moved to 10 Rathbone St, Newton in Makefield, and here Elizabeth's birthplace is given as Holkyn Mountains, Flint which again fits with the stories in the family. If any Lister has an interest in this William ROBERTS or could provide any further information we would be most grateful to hear from you, Best regards, Courtnay
