Ann Do you know why they moved to London or when? Could they have gone somewhere else first? Have you any idea where and when they were married? By the way, I wonder whether John Roberts, carpenter, Llanbadarn Fawr (1851 census) could be David's dad (and your great great grandfather)? There is an older Roberts next door, too. Could be HIS dad! See: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ceredigwynd/llanbfc1851.html There are Roberts memorial inscriptions and much else on this site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ceredigwynd/roberts-memorial.html> David Canberra > Hello > > I am a newcomer to this list but not to family history. > I am looking for my great great grandparents and they are proving to be very > elusive. > > On the 1901 Census my great grandparents state they were born in Aberyswyth, > Cardiganshire. > > They are David Roberts aged 46, Carpenter > Mary Roberts aged 40 > My Granddad Albert Edward Roberts aged 8, born Islington, London. > > So I send for his birth certificate. > Mary Roberts was a JONES. > > Last year I finally found them on the 1891 London Census and it says > > David Roberts aged 34, Carpenter born Llanbadarnfawr, Cardiganshire > Mary Roberts aged 30, born Llanbadarnfawr, Cardiganshire. > > I cannot find either of them on the 1881 Census, I can find lots of David > Roberts and quite a few Marys but none who I can definitely point to and say > they > are mine. > > So if someone out there has access to the 1861 or 1871 Census and can look > these ancestors up and tell me who their parents are I would be a very happy > bunny. > > Its no fun when you have got further with your husbands tree than your own. > > > Thank you > > Ann Taylor nee Roberts > Suffolk > Cardigan FHS No 495 > > > > ==== WLS-CARDIGANSHIRE Mailing List ==== > Dyfed FHS > http://www.dyfedfhs.org.uk/ >
