Hi Kris,
I have a John and Margaret Roberts in my tree but unfortunately that is a hundred years
earlier.
I could not find the deaths of Margaret or Baden on Free BMD, nor their burials at Giants
Grave, they could of course be buried at Ynysmaerdy the Council run cemetery in Briton
Ferry. Neither could I find a marriage for a John Roberts and Margaret.
You didn't mention where they were living in 1901, that may have provided a likely
burial area clue, I assume it was Briton Ferry.
I tried to find John Roberts in the 1881 Census in Swansea but there were about 8
candidates so without anything else to go on couldn't decide the most likely
candidate, a job in the 1901 may have given an indication.
You could try the 1891 Census for Glamorgan that may give a lead to an 1881 Census
candidate via job or better still a relative living with them.
You could also try the BMD Index for Baden Powell that is an unusual forename so may
establish a date for you.
If you get any more information let me know,
Sorry I could not be of any help,
Regards,
Mike

Subject: [WLS-GLAM-BRITONFERRY] Roberts Family--Briton Ferry
Hi Mike,
I do not know if we may be distantly related, but here goes. I am researching my
grandmother's family. Here is information that I have from the 1901 census:
Relation. Age Where Born
John Roberts Head 36 Glamorgan, Swansea
Margaret " Wife 32 " "
David John " Son 14 " "
Lewis " Son 11 " "
Mary Ann " Dau. 8 " "
Blodwen " Dau. 4 " "
Margaret Edith " Dau. 2 " Briton Ferry
Baden Powell " Son 1 " Briton Ferry
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sarah Ann Jones Servant 21 " "
My grandmother is Blodwen. Her mother Margaret's maiden name was Lewis. The family
came to the United States in 1904 and settled in East Chicago, Indiana. They only came
with 4 children and the servant, so I believe that 2 of the children (possibly Margaret
Edith and Baden Powell)must have died in Wales between 1901 and 1904.
I do not have a marriage date or location for John and Margaret . I imagine they married
sometime in the early 1880's.
Can you see if the children are listed in your Giants Grave Cemetery index?
Thank you so much,
Kris Smith
