I haven't come across one as yet. Unless you can come forward and research the other siblings (I believe there were more than these two boys) to see if you can make contact and hopefully swap any info with each other. You never know, someone may have a photograph.

Regards
Sandra

Hi Sandra,

Yes there was 6 brothers

Richard John Roberts 1893-1915
George Morris Roberts 1894-1903
William Charlie's Roberts 1895-1916
Lenard Walter James Roberts 1908- unknown
Cyril Laurence Roberts 1911-2001
Lionel Roberts 1913-1892

That's all I know at the minute. Iv been trying to look for the regiment group photos for Richard and William but no luck as of yet.  Any advice on where to look for them would be great.

Have you worked the families forward to try and find other relatives or do you already know those relatives ?
