Flintshire birth/ baptism look up

[jules67]

Please can anyone help me find a possible birthday for my Grandfather William Thomas Roberts. he was born In Rhyl that was Flintshire at the time possibly between 1864/67. I know from marriage records his father was named Daniel Roberts, but i can not find a match that fits my William Thomas in that time scale.
Many thanks,
Jules x

Hi Jules,you've no doubt seen the 1881 entry showing the William Thomas given as born in c 1876 son of Daniel and Ann Roberts?I'm not finding the Daniel Roberts in 1871,but the entry in 1881 looks a bit fishy to me with an apparent 12 year gap between David Edward and the William Thomas?

William Russell Jones.

Looking at apparently your Tree on Ancestry Jules,I'm wondering how you came by the Williams surname for the Ann who married Daniel Roberts?

I trust you didn't pick it as it was given as a choice for a marriage for Daniel Roberts at St Asaph in 1862 on Free BMD?North Wales BMD gives Daniel Roberts as marrying the Jane Hughes at St Asaph in 1862?

William Russell Jones.

I'll have a detailed look at the other thread and see if there are any clues at all - remember, I have lots of experience with Roberts - still trying to find a John b.c. 1800 

I'll get back if I find anything worthwhile.

Thank you.....at the moment i dont feel im ever going to know.

WR...where did you find the marriage to Jane for Daniel? x

Don't you worry about it too much Jules.

What I normally do when I hit the wall with an ancestor like this,albeit a troublesome character like your William Thomas Roberts,is to go on to a completely different line.Perhaps returning to  the William Thomas at some later stage.

It is often marvellous when you go back to look again,that you notice something different that you missed the first time.
