The Ethell Family in the original question is not related to Ethelred in any form. The Ethell in question and descendents are all from the FOUNDLING from Lees in Shropshire. So don't get confused.

I've just seen your posting regarding your David Roberts,  who was a draper at  Swansea. I believe he was a cousin of my great grandfather, another David Roberts, of Capel Garmon near Llanrwst. I have a picture of both of them - when they were both quite old. Both were tall and slim. I'm not sure how they were related. I think your David Roberts lived at Ael y Don, Langland Bay, at some time (at least I have in my possession a letter to my grandmother which was addressed from there). Please get in touch if you're still interested, and I would like to know how he was related to my great grandfather.

Best wishes

Hi Ann,

Still interested in any info on David, he was the elder brother of my Great grandfather Lewis Roberts born in Llanrwst. The above is the only info that I have for David.

Just curious as to know your connection with the Ethell family.  Are you related? You seem to have info on other families as well. My father was John William Ethell, his parents were Ben and Margaret Ethell from Fleetwood.

My connection to the ETHELL family is through my maternal grandmother, she was Elizabeth Ethell 1868 - 1946, dau of Richard Ethell 1830-1880 and Harriet Revis 1838-1924.
