Don't we all just LOVE an unusual name for a change to search for???
Don't know if you have this already or not (if you want more detail let me
know off list):

Cordelia is a house servant In the home of Silence Roberts and family.
Silence is a widow, a licensed Victualler (running a pub/inn) on Castle

Cordelia is aged 15 and born Conwy.
1871
Cordelia and Hugh Roberts are living in the same house (on High Street,
Conwy) as Cordelia's sister WINIFRED WILLIAMS:

Question:
Is Cordelia a widow by 1881?? I found a Cordelia Roberts in Lancashire, a
widow.
Re: Hugh Roberts
1861
I found a possibility for him in Beaumaris in 1861 - father is a Slater. If
you want this detail, let me know off list. That Hugh is not working, he's 15
if I remember rightly.
Beaumaris is definitely a shipping town with shipbuilding too so he could
very well have gone to see to work.
1861
There's another Hugh Roberts, born Beaumaris with his brother in law (and
his sister Ellen) in Lancashire and he's a gardener aged 22.
1861
There's a Hugh Roberts, boarder, aged 20, a carpenter, b. Anglesey living in
Liverpool (another shipping city)
