Fresh Eyes needed to find ROBERTS family in 1901 please

[Keziahemm]

Hi Joanne,

Yes, I found Hubert/Maria Roberts  - thought we were looking for Ellen/Jane 

There are no children with name Ellen or Jane! Nor Maria if it comes to that!

Hubert's not a common name is it?

I know lol!  I am beginning to think that my great auntie was either telling porkies or has herself been told some porkies!!!  So I guess that we should have been looking for Maria with Hubert Roberts in the first place instead oof the other guys - right?  I've already found Hubert Roberts and his family on the 1881 census.

Don't go charging off Joanne    Wait until the proof with the certificate.

I've been impatient in the past and wasted a lot of time and effort, having said that at least these days a lot can be done on the internet.

I sent of the application for James and minnie's marriage cert today!  Yay! Like you said it should give us a defo name for his dad.

I also sent off for the birth cert for one of my partners birth grandmothers - we don't know who his father is hence we wouldn't be able to look for his other grandmother.  We are really looking forward to recieving this one because his Grandmothers maiden name was Taubman - now that could be german or polish  or Ilse of Man!  and we know that her mum's maiden name was McGill.  He is really interested in finding out about his Irish/Scottish clan ancestry!

We both wait with baited breath - me inparticular to start solving my Roberts family problem!

Joanne

Hi Joanne,

Three weeks 

The other one I ordered arrived today;  the postmark on the envelope was the day before the postmark on the certificate that arrived yesterday!

Hope you understand that 

Think, in future, will order from the office local to the area of registration!
