« on: Friday 29 June 12 03:38 BST (UK)  »
According to the IGI my William ROBERTS was baptised in Llanelly Carmarthen on 9 Sept 1838 (Father John Robert, Mother Mary)
I have a copy of his Military record that lists him born 1836

Can anyone tell me what Churches there are in Llanelly that I may contact to possibly get a photo copy of the entry.

Carmarthenshire Completed Requests / baptism help Llanelli
« on: Tuesday 25 October 11 23:37 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone please help?
According to the IGI William ROBERTS was baptised 9 Sept 1838 in Llanelli Carmarthanshire.
I sent for 2 possible birth certs ( the only ones I found listed) one Dec qtr 1837 and one Sept qtr 1838 both are incorrect. I am guessing he was older when baptised. The IGI lists the correct parents.
William's son was baptised in a C of E church if that helps any

Need to find an original entry.
Would appreciate any advice
thanks Teddy (USA)

Kent / Kent 1871 census
« on: Sunday 09 October 11 15:37 BST (UK)  »
I have found 2 William Roberts on the 1871 Census both at Medway, Gillingham, Kent.
1) lists William 23 rd Reg. listing is with his battalion
2) lists William 23rd Reg Harpist. with wife and children. the wife name is correct but this is the first I have found of the listed children. I have only found these children on this census
both list William from Caernarvon Wales.
I know William was a harpist with the 23rd Reg.

Would the Regiment just give a name of soldiers that were stationed there without them being physically present?
any help suggestions appreciated!

Travelling People / William Roberts IGI 1838
« on: Friday 30 September 11 17:25 BST (UK)  »
According to all printed material, incluing the JGLS, Dr. Sampsons pedigree, The Welsh Gypsies, children of Abram Wood, With Harp Fiddle and Folktale,  and the IGI list Williams parents as John Robert Lewis and Mary Ann Roberts as parents.
However William was married twice.
On his first marriage he list himself as harpist with father Joseph Roberts musician. William was 16 his wife 33!
 On his second marriage he lists himself as harpist, his father as John Roberts musician.
I know this first marriage is correct for William (my gr gr grandparents)
All census record William as born in Llanelli, about 1837 or 38
On the 1851 William is with John Roberts ( the famous Harpist) listed as son but I believe this should be nephew.
I have found another William born about 1838 with father Joseph collier in Llanelli
Can anyone help me understand as to why he would list his father as Joseph on his first marriage cert?
thank you for any thoughts and advice!
