Pam,
I do believe it's "Mochdre" (or "Moughtrey" as sometimes spelled),
but
there's no evidence in Mochdre or anywhere in that enumeration district of
Fanny (presumably Frances) ROBERTS and husband, nor of Martha.
There is this entry only for a Jane ROBERTS, aged '1'. It's possible the
transcriber misread a '7' for a '1'. In any case, Mochdre is just
"over the
hill" from Radnorshire -- didn't you say there was a Radnorshire farm
connected with your OWENS? If this is the 'right' Jane ROBERTS, I'd suggest
you look for them in Radnorshire in 1851.

I don't know for sure, but "Kesmawr" may have been "Cefnmawr" or
"Caemawr".
Now that you know Jane's birthplace, you should order her birth certificate
from the Supt. Registrar, Newtown. This will save you a lot of time.

Dear List,
With the help of some folks on the Liverpool list I'm trying to track down
my peripatetic ancestors. I have a possible hit for Jane ROBERTS DUNN, age
37, from the 1881 census giving a birthplace of Moch Tree,
Montgomeryshire,
Wales. Could this be the modern Mochdre, SW of Newtown? That would
make
sense since my OWENS family was from the Newtown area.
Could someone with access to the 1851 census index for Moch Tree /
Mochdre,
Montgomeryshire, be so kind as to see whether there is a Jane
ROBERTS,
about
age 7? Her parents are Fanny OWENS ROBETS and Mr. __?__ ROBERTS.
There
may
be a sister Martha.
I would be most grateful!
