Sorry both had our grandchild staying over Friday and all day Saturday : then absolutely shattered ! Last night
Have just started looking through everything closely - a couple of things already.
I think the welsh location on the border crossing is Llangefni . This is not far from where his father was born. I have found his father and grand parents in 1861 on Anglesey but haven't gone any further yet.
As regards the corrections on the attestation papers ....could it read john Roberts foster brother - I think so and was then changed to Blodwen Roberts sister. I have a 1915 marriage near Colwyn bay a grace B Pritchard to John Roberts. I need another look on the location there too .
Out grocery shopping at the moment lol ! More later
It would be nice to write out a tree for them all for my aunt even if they are not related .

Thanks Mo.

To me it looks like Mrs. Jonah Roberts. There is a marriage in 1886 Anglesey for Jonah Roberts
and Harriet Pritchard vol. 11b, p771.

Cheers,
DB

Added: Correction: it should be Hannah not Harriet. Thanks mate.
