I see from the many reports in the press (i.e. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/welshman-faces-paupers-funeral-unless-11461902 ) that he was also known as Gomer Roberts.

There is the birth of a Gomer Roberts in St Asaph RD in 1962  :-\

Hello

I have foun three possible births - FindMyPast

Meuric W Roberts Luton 1963 MMN Farquhar (will try to see a marriage after)
Meurig W Roberts Pwllheli 1960 MMN Jones
Meurig W Roberts Wrexham 1960 MMN Williams

I wouldn't discount the Luton one - we welsh travel around a lot.   I would suggest that you perhaps put something up on the facebook local pages for Wrexham and Pwllheli.

M*** Farquhar married J**  Roberts in Luton in 1964

There are several children from this marriage but I will not name them in case of living people but the marriage is easily found as are the children

But if you don't have a birth certificate how do you know? The person who registered the death could have made a mistake  :-\

Who was the informant  on the death certificate?


Are you sure that there is a hyphen after  "Wyn"    Many people in north wales have  a middle name Wyn    or variant spelling

Has anyone reported him as missing?

Do any of his friends  recall him talking about his child-hood or school years?

Could he speak Welsh?

Whilst I can't assist directly I note that there is a mention  of the Welsh Guards - can their Association or Reunion sites not be able to help in the search?

The leslie wyn-roberts mentioned in the above obituary was actually Leslie Meurig Wyn-Roberts this could be significant. Have also traced the daughter but will not name her because she is still living.

Cannot find a marriage or a birth for either of them; soother could be a foreign marriage and would explain no births.

The family lived all over North Wales and southern england from about 1968.    Leslie died in Llandudno.
