In the 1881 census Peter Roberts' place of birth is given as Pentrefoelas,
Denbighshire.
BMD records would suggest:
1845: Peter ROBERTS was born in the Llanrwst Registration District.
1874: Peter ROBERTS married Elizabeth JONES at St Beuno's Church, Llanycil.
I think the census route is:
In the 1871 census (RG10/5679/81/10) he was living in the township of Gwernhowell, Ysbyty
Ifan. This is just a short distance from Pentrefoelas. This time his place of birth is
given as Ysbyty Ifan.
In the 1861 census ((RG9/4307/13/1)) he was living at Bryn Draenen in the township of Tir
Eidda, Ysbyty Ifan. Again his place of birth is given as Ysbyty Ifan.
In the 1851 census (HO107/2508/502/11) he was living ay Bryn Howel, Gwern Howel, Ysbyty
Ifan. But his place of birth is given as Corwen??? He is living with his grandmother Anne
Roberts and it's possible that her unmarried daughter Elinor is Peter's mother?
(The parish of Ysbyty Ifan covered parts of Caernarfonshire, Denbighshire and
Merionethshire!!!)
