Joseph ROBERTS bap Holywell Flintshire 11th March 1827
« on: Saturday 13 November 04 11:40 GMT (UK) »
Joseph Roberts 22 married Ann Joule Davenport 20 in August 1849 Manchester.
1871 census gives his place of birth - HOLYWELL Flintshire,Wales.

Seeking names of parents and siblings.
Joseph's father was Thomas ROBERTS - 'contractor' recorded on above m/c in 1849 and Joseph's occupation was Railway Clerk in 1849.
Joseph Roberts had his married sister Sophia Morrison living with him in West Derby,Lanc in 1871 census.(24 Dodge Street,West Derby)(RG11/3702/40/14)
I guess the scenario is a possible marriage of a Thomas Roberts to Catherine JONES !!** circa 1814 in Holywell and children ,Joseph bap.1827 and possibly Maria bap.1815 Holywell.Found an entry in 1851 census of Catherine Roberts 63 with 2 daughters in Manchester Ref:107/2227 p.437 but not sure if this connects to Sophia Morrison & Joseph Roberts(sister & brother) in 1871 West Derby,Lancs census.1851 census only states that Catherine,Sophia & Maria were born 'Wales' !!
Subject,Joseph Roberts is at Dorrington Street,Hulme,Manchester in 1851.Have located a baptism in Holywell 11th March 1827 for Joseph Roberts son of Thomas 'bricklayer' & Catherine ROBERTS of Holywell ! Any other Roberts researchers ? Perhaps the baptism of Sophia JONES (dau of Daniel & Catherine) bap 7 April 1809, Holywell.Flint  is connected. Joseph Roberts was in Hoole,Chester in 1861 and working for LNWR.** Catherine JONES formerly PRICE? (dau of John & Margaret PRICE may have been widow of Daniel JONES of Whitford  !! marriage 10th May 1806 (Holywell Parish Register)
All help appreciated
