Edward Roberts COMPLETED

[nicolabj]

I am looking for the birth of an Edward Roberts, son of Edward Roberts, stonecutter, and Elin about 1767.
A family bible gives his birth as 21 November 1766 which has been amended to 1767, probably calculated from his death on 23 March 1838 aged 70 years and 4 months. (The page includes lots of scribbled out sums.)

He almost certainly died as a nailer in Chwarele, Llangollen, but I do not know if this is where he was born. If I can track down his birth, I may be able to find out more about his mother Elin and any siblings.
Thanks
Nicola

and this looks like  a possible marriage:

1st May 1758 Edward Roberts and Ellin Williams, both of the parish.

Thanks very much for this. Sorry not to have acknowledged you sooner - I've just returned home after a few days away.
