thank you heather for making me feel welcome to roots chat.

i think i may need as much help as you can give me.
i havent got much to go on realy,only the transcript book for llandegla i have BMD from
1744-1812.
what i no from the booklet is-

robert roberts and mary roberts was the father of--
 david born 1787,who moved to llandderfel.
robert was a carpenter.
they also had jane 1776
                      godfrey 1778
                      robert 1780
                      thomas1782
                      jane1784   (another jane)??
                      david ( above 1787)
 also there is another robert and mary roberts,he was a wheelwright
they had a edward 1769
                  john 1771
                  robert 1773
could this be the same robert roberts the carpenter,as a few years earlyer he could of been a wheelwright?
there are 2 janes and 2 robert i think the first time they were named they may of died in childhood.?

for a burial record of the father robert,i have a few dates-
1788 ( it does say carpenter by the name) i think this could be the right date,so its oct 9th 1788
1795
1803
1810
1812
and mary his wife
1798 (it does say widow)
1804
1812
the marriage date u give me could be right,but it would of ment that they had 3 children before thay were marryed?
i think you are right looking in other villages so -
IF YOU COULD HELP ME ANY MORE,NOW THAT YOU HAVE MORE INFO ON ROBERT, I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY FOR YOU 2DO SO.
i think i just need a few dates,that are right and to do with robert and mary,then i can focus and get on my way again.
sorry for going on,i realy have enjoyed researching my tree,but i am struggling and not enjoying it as much.
thank you again

hello
 Ive followed my roberts family tree back from me in oswestry.to glyn geriog(david roberts born 1885),then llandderfell(john 1858)(david 1827)

then the problem started when i followed it then back to llandegla 1786,(david)
 i think i have done well so far,but want to go back futher.
in 1786 david roberts was born in llandegla,then in later years moved to llandderfel(bryn derw)he was a farmer.
i got a book of transcripts and found his father was robert and mother was mary.robert was a carpenter.
but i can not find any marriage or birth to do with robert
i recentently visited llandegla church in hope of finding roberts gravestone,but i had no luck.

i think robert lived in the llandegla area,as he had 5 or more children in the transcripts,but it doesnt give a abode,most of the other surnames in the book do.so perhaps it was somewhere in that area he lived? give or take 10 + miles perhaps.

so far i have just followed the direct line back,but i no from the census's of the 1800s that each line of roberts hand 8-10 children.so there are meny reletives.
i would like some help please in finding when and where robert was born,can any one tell me where i could start please i would be very greatfull.
