Carole, I have been looking for a Mary C. Roberts who married David D. Davies/Davis. She
was born abt. 1827 died Dec.18.1885 here in Salisbury Ctr. NY USA, all info in census that
she was born in Wales and folklore says she met David aboard ship and married him around
1854-55. first child born here in Steuben, NY in June 1855. I have not been able to find
how they came over or when or where they were from in Wales. Been looking for 2 years with
no luck.Only piece of info I have is an old post card from a cousin of Davids from a Mrs(
Wirmirbe) Jones, Avondale Green Lane Corwen, Merionithshire, Wales. Any info would be
most appreciated. Arlene

I have just received the birth cert. of Ann Jane Roberts b. July 17/1853
Caencoed Pentre (Pontie) Llanidloes, mother Ann Roberts formerly Davies,
father John Roberts, Miner.
This confirms that the marriage reference: Marriages Sep 1852, Davies Ann
Newtown 11b 275, Roberts John Newtown 11b 275 is in fact my John's
and I now know that the copy of the 1851 census that Julie found for me is
even more likely to be my John. The Thomas Davies is a brother to Ann and
how John came to meet his wife to be.
1851 Census, Parish (and town) of Llanidloes:
HUMPHREYS Edward h m 39 Lead miner MGY Trefeglwys
Great Oak St. /f117/p6
HUMPHREYS Bridget w m 40 Flannel weaver MGY Trefeglwys
Great Oak St. /f117/p6
HUMPHREYS Bridget d u 4 Scholar MGY Llanidloes
Great Oak St. /f117/p6
DAVIES Thomas ld u 24 Lead miner FLN Llanarmon
Great Oak St. /f117/p6
ROBERTS John ld u 24 Lead miner FLN Llanarmon
Great Oak St. /f117/p6
Now for the questions. 1. Does anyone on the list have access to the
actual civil marriage registers and could find out smore detail on John and
Ann.
2. Can anyone tell me more about the address given
on Ann Jane's birth cert. (Caencoed Pentre or Pontie)
At least I have inched a little further in my quest to find out who John's
parents are other than the fact that his father was a Robert Roberts.
Thank you any help appreciated.
