Lynda,
Just a thought on where your ROBERTS might be buried --- I finally found my
2xggrandmother buried in the Machynlleth *Town* Cemetery. She died in 1895.
I'm not certain when burials began in that cemetery (and you didn't mention
when your ROBERTS people died) but the records are held at the Council
offices in Maengwyn Street. My 'find' was only after looking at every
church and chapel graveyard in the parish -- I had no idea there was a town
cemetery. The records are incredibly informative, too.
More specific details on your ROBERTS family might help to elicit more
replies. Also, it wouldn't hurt to post to the Powys list, as well, where
there are more subscribers with overlapping research interests in the three
Powys counties.
Regards,
Julie Preston

Subject: [WLS-MGY] Roberts Family of Machynlleth,Montgomeryshire
Was wondering if someone would have something regarding this
particular
family. They were Shoemakers, Tailors.......Drapers in the 1800's.
Anything
would be greatly appreciated. I have wondered if perhaps someone
might
have
a link to this family. My Gr-Grandfather was William ROBERTS son of
Ellis
ROBERTS. Also, could someone tell me what local cemetery my Roberts might
be
buried in?
Any help would be appreciated.....
Thank You
Lynda
