Family History Beginners Board / Re: Arthur Hywel Roberts : born 1894 in Corwen, Merionethshire

Yes I did find that one.  It's actually the second marriage I'm trying to find, to see where the 4 half siblings of his son John Gwynfryn Ackland Roberts fit in.  His first wife died in 1926.

His father was John Roberts (1858 - ?) and his mother was Catherine Jane Jones (1863 - 1943).  His father was shown as an engine driver in a brickworks on Arthur's birth certificate.

I now have a copy of his birth certificate and his birth date is shown as 10 June 1894 in Bryn Y Groes, Garth, Llangollen, Llangollen Rural, Denbighshire, Wales. Unfortunately he's still not coming up in the 1939 census using that date so I'm not sure there is much else I can do.

Gosh what an extensive reply - thank you!  Many thanks to all of you.  I think the next step for me is to get a copy of the birth certificate for Arthur and see if I can track him down in the 1939 census as GG suggests.

The marriage in 1921 is his first marriage to Emily Ackland Hughes - she died in 1926.  His father was I believe John ROBERTS born ABT 1858 • Garth, Denbighshire, Wales and I think his mother was Catherine Jane JONES born 3 JUL 1863 • Bryn Eglwys, Denbighshire, Wales, death OCT 1943 • St Asaph, Denbighshire, Wales.

I have a copy of the birth certificate for the only son from his first marriage; however I am doing the research for a friend and he doesn't want to have to keep paying out for copies of certificates.  I don't think I am going to find him without tracking down this second relationship.

Trying to find a second marriage for this chap.  His first wife died in childbirth in 1926 but their only son apparently has 4 half siblings.  Presumably Arthur remarried at some point and they are either his children or they are the children of his second wife.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.  I thought that would probably be the case.  Very elusive chap; can't find any trace of him in Poland at all.
