Title: Looking for the birth of Alice Eliza Musgrave Robertson abt 1867
Post by: Westy11 on Tuesday 12 August 14 05:23 BST (UK)
Hoping for some assistance to locate Alice Eliza Musgrave Robertson's birth/baptism details please.  I have hit a brick wall. :'(

Alice is a daughter of William Robertson JP & DL for Pembrokeshire & Mary Musgrave Bowen.  Based on the 1881 census record she was born abt 1867 at Llanstadwell, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The 1861 Census record has her birth abt 1866.

I have only been able to locate her for the 1871 & 1881 census and nothing further after that - any and all assistance gratefully received.

It would appear to me that she married in the 3rd Qtr of 1889 in the Edmonton Registration District.

I think she had married Thomas Bodkin Roughan and that Alice died as Alice E.M. Roughan at Sodbury area of Gloucestershire in 1943.

Thanks so much for that - I had seen something in a census that made me wonder if Alice married Thomas.  Alice's eldest sister Kate Lever Robinson was Thomas' first wife and she died very young. 

Much appreciated.

Did you have any luck with finding Alice's birth at all???

Of the birth announcements for Robertsons on the Welsh Newspapers website, this 1868 one seems possible:
