Hi David,
The parish church in Llanidloes is St. Idloes and I wonder if the reference
to Idloes is where they were Baptised rather than where they were born.
There was an Idloes Terrace in the town listed in the1881 Census but I
haven't had a chance to see if it was also on the 1851 Census.
Did you find entries for Richard, jnr and John on the 1851 Census when you
looked for Idloes?
Regards,
Margaret Harvey

Subject: ROBERTS FAMILY
HI
in my line is a RICHARD ROBERTS born abt 1769 and married to ANNE DAVIES
born abt
1773 in Llanidloes, MGY on 20 Sep 1794. Their children were
RICHARD b/chr 10 Aug 1799, JOHN b/chr 22 May 1802, ANNE b/chr 13 Oct 1804
and ELIZABETH b/chr 30 Jun 1810. All of the children and both parents were
said to be born at IDLOES, LLANIDLOES. A friend gave me access to the 1851
MGY Census and I carefully went through the Llanidloes section but could
find no reference to IDLOES. Can anyone help , is it a house or a farm name
or is it a district? I would also be grateful if someone could take the
family back a generation or supply any further info
DAVID
