Hello
I'm new to this message board - but not new to trying to do the impossible i.e. track
down someone with any connection to my Roberts.
They came from Llandanwg; some stayed, others moved eastwards through Maentwrog to land up
in Blaenau Ffestiniog.
Here are some of them:
Micah Roberts: "Micah, Son of John Robert and Mary Griffith his Wife: was baptised
the 20th of September (1795)."
Micah married Mary (another Roberts, b. 1790) and had (at least) 6 kids. Their 3rd
daughter Margaret (b. Llandanwg January 1823)married William (yet another Roberts!) b.
Llandanwg in 1815. They had Gwen (1848), Kate (1849), Anne (1851), Robert (1853) and
James (1856). The family moved to Maentwrog in c. 1852.
Gwen married Griffith Roberts c. 1870 (another Roberts!). They lived in Llandanwg with
their children Elizabeth, Margaret, Gwen, Mary, Laura & Griffith (born from 1871 -
85).
Kate (Catherine) married John Owen Roberts (why do Robertses always marry Robertses!)John
Owen R was b. Ffestiniog in 1850. They married in late 1870s and lived in Blaenau. Their
children were Owen Llewellyn (1879); Robert James (1880); William (Bobby)(1881) who moved
to Manchester but was buried in Blaenau; Maggie (1884) & Dorothea (1886)
Robert married Anne Jones in late 1880s, one child Gwilym Jones Roberts born 1890 - Anne
died the same day. Robert & Gwilym lived in Blaenau.
James married a Mary. Their children were James William Margaret, Kate & Alun (from
1884 - 97).
Can anyone make a connection with any of my Robertes? I've yet to find anyone yet. I
know I'm the last Roberts from Robert's (b. 1853)line - but I'm beginning to
think all the other lines might have died out.
In hope........
Ninian
