Can't see a perfect match, the nearest being a William J. Roberts marrying a Catherine J. Hughes. This is a civil marriage at Caernarfon in 1924. The Bangor Register Office reference is: CAE/70/E39, or the GRO ref: Carnarvon - September Quarter - 11b 708.

Many thanks for your efforts, guys.
Since discovered from electoral rolls they were living as W.H. Roberts and Catherine J. Roberts in 1920 - there were no Caernarfonshire electoral rolls from 1915 to 1920. However. and I know it seems far fetched, but putting every fact  I know (and adding the Holmesian logic about the impossible/possible) together I think that W. H. Roberts was living as man and wife with his cousin! They never married. I also used my data/logic to come to the conclusion that W. H. Roberts' mother, also Catherine, lived together as man and wife with her nephew Owen Humphreys!

Of course, I could be totally wrong - but there is no marriage record that I can find anywhere for either couple. And Catherine reverted her he previous married name of Roberts when buried.

Hi sifip,

To say I am embarrassed is putting it mildly....I wonder why I couldn't find them.  Slapdash, I guess.
Now to sort out the relationship between Owen Humphreys and Catherine Roberts, and why she reverted to Roberts at her death/burial.

However, many, many thanks.

Regards
