Hi, I'm trying to trace some of my family from the Holywell/Fflint area.
The root of this twig is a David (Dafydd) Roberts from Trefriw born 1835.
He married an Eliza Davies in 1865
at some time they went to Australia
On 16/3/1867 Dafydd and Eliza had their first child, Esther in Queensland Australia.
8/2/1869 a son Robert was born, again in Queensland
3/5/1873 Eliza was born, still in Queensland
They then came back to the UK and in:-
1877 David was born in Conwy and in
1879 born in Trefriw Winifred completed the family.
In 1881 Eliza was living at Chester Rd, New Western Terrace. she was 34 born in
Buckley.Listed as Ship carpenter wife.
her 5 children were living there plus a Rachel and Mary Elizabeth Holland.
in 1891 she’s at Western Terr Northop, Oakenholt, now listed as Eliza Lloyd and married
to a John Lloyd.
By 1901 she’s at Rose Terrace, Fflint with a daughter, Esther Newall and her 2 sons Fred
and Archibald.
I believe she died in Holywell district in 1941
another daughter,, Eliza Roberts married Thos Bithell 1896 she had 5 children all who I
think stayed in the
Fflint area, she died in1950
I do have much more on the family, but just want to find out if there was anyone on the
list with whom these names rang a bell.
I did find someone on Rootschat who did have connections to the family, but sadly the
email address is not now active.
Any clues or pointers to find someone connected to these branches would be very welcome.
Here's hoping,
Elsbeth Pears
