Hi Gwen,
Do you have some info for us to work with please, such as names and dates of
birth etc? Roberts and Jones are two of the most common surnames in Wales,
so you will understand why we need a little more to go on. I am sure we will
all try to help you once we have the info.
Cheers
Patricia

Hi.
My name is Gwen Rudderham and I am emailing from Nova Scotia Canada. My
great grandparents were from Wales and came to Canada about 1907. I have
been trying to find info on their families, (Roberts and Jones).I also was
looking for a death. I was told my great grandfather (and 2 sons) returned
to Wales and I was trying to find a notice of death to prove that he
indeed died there. I have contacted the Archives in Wales but had no
reply.
Any info that you could send me on my family would be a great help. I have
hit a brick wall. I do have them in 1891 and 1901 census for Wales. In the
1901 census, John had his sister Elizabeth and nephew living with him.
Regards
Gwen Rudderham
