Hello Keith,
Yes, I think this one has possibilities.
The sad part is the only documentation I have on Margaret is a newspaper
clipping congratulating her 100th birthday, dated Oct 28, 1965.
And her street address in Birkenhead England. From there I figured out her
husband was Walter James.
From there someone sent me some census data and I learned she came from
Amlwch.
I was exploring on the Internet a bit and did find the surname ROOSE in
Anglesey so its not totally unlikely. (I had been wondering if it had been
a typo for Rose).
I might have to try and get Margaret's birth cert and see if this is her
family.
Do you know if it is difficult to acquire vital records from Anglesey area?
Thanks for your help. And I will join Anglesey list too.
Ellen

Hello Ellen,
I was browsing the archives of the Wales Gen list (as I occasionally do!)
and noted your request so had a little look on the 1881 census for the UK
and in particular Amlwch. The middle name of Roose is a bit of a puzzle as
it doesn`t sound Welsh and anyway it probably wouldn`t show up in any census
record but only on parish records.
I found this family which reasonably matches up with what you are seeking
and as its the only 1/2 year old Sarah Hughes in Amlwch at 1881 it`s a
reasonable chance that its your family. If you can tell me that the family
(parents) were still in Amlwch in 1901 then I can have a look as I have the
census on Microfiche for most of Anglesey. Your best way forwards is to
subscribe to the Rootsweb Anglesey list and repeat your request there.
Regards, Keith Roberts (of maternal Amlwch stock!)
