Sam  Swift  thank you so much for your interest in my brick wall ,yes times must have been very hard for them . I do really think the girls could have gone to USA it was mentioned to me by my mother but I only took a passing interest at the time I know John was buried in Ffestiniog no headstone but failed to find a burial for his wife Jane !

I will need a few days to revisit my files so I can tell you some other info I have that might be relevant if you don’t mind sometime a fresh pair of eyes help things ...

Thanks again
Mrs griff

My printer is a cannon mp50  I can resize and print it off myself but if you could make it smaller you maybe do a better job than me I can usual do 4 by 6 but it means I lot of cutting for the small frame but I will appreciate if you just lighten for me
Kind Regards

Hi I think this Jane Roberts though there was no M on the census but that was common  could well be my grandfathers sibling it's the right birth year and as you say the address is the same as her family home did it say on the 1939 register that Hugh Roberts was her husband ? When I was reseaching for marriages for Jane there were a few and they were married to Hugh Roberts and they had fathers name as John Roberts as is often the case with Welsh family names !!! so I could quite pin them down .

I have found two births for Jane Roberts in the 3rd qtr 1887 in festiniog so I think I will have to send for certs some registrars will check the mother's maiden name to see if it's the right one well they use to when I was buying certs when I was researching awhile ago but my reseach hit a brick wall haven't done  so for sometime and my OH passed away suddenly 4 years ago and I lost interest as we travelled often up North to  the Caernavon archives and Dollgellau
 and I also cancelled our Ancestry membership which made it more difficult .

Well mandywills you have stirred up interest again and any little help you can give is really appreciated .
Kind Regards
Mrs griff

Hi mandywills
This the info I have my ggrandfather John Roberts born 1849 Rhwiau Isa llanfairfechen he and his brother Hugh moved to Festiniog 0n the 1871 they are living in Market Place Festiniog Hugh was killed that same year on 11/9/1871 in Cwmorthin Quarry aged 18/19

My ggrandfather John Roberts  married Jane Rowlands she was born Holyhead Anglesey in 1875 he was living at Tanymarion Jane was at Diffws Terr when they married they had 6 children the 1st child named Hugh was born 1875 ! at Wesley St Festiniog the following 5 were born at Closygraig 
Ellen1879  John 1880 William 1884 "my grandfather " Jane 1887  Mary 1890   think Ellen died about 11 but cant find my notes with the death details !!??? 

I know William came to South Wales 1901 and John followed 1902

1901 census Hugh, John ,Jane and Mary are still at 2 Tanyfron which we think was Closygraig with their mother Jane my g grandmother who was a widow aged 50 I cant find any of them after the 1901census no trace on the 1911 Jane could have remarried being only 50 so her name might have changed ! hope you can make senses of the info .....

Not sure you will know of anyone living now who might remember the family but it was kind of you ask for details

Kind Regards
mrs griff
