Margaret Roberts

Well you have the GRO references although they wouldn’t be the same as local references.

There are deaths for 2 Margaret Roberts, aged 30 yrs in Bangor registration district in 1869

First one
March 1869, vol 11b page 389

Possible burial in the Anglesey parish registers on ancestry?
1 March 1869, Llanfihangel Ysceifiog
Margt Roberts
Abode ?
Age 31

Second one
June 1869, vol 11b page 392

Another possible burial
2 June 1869, Llanddanielfab
Margaret Robert
Abode ?
Age 30

I am getting hits with other names who have the same two GRO references, with burials in Anglesey parishes in the same months. So I am hopeful they could be the right Margaret Roberts burials

Need help with the abodes!

Anglesey info sounds promising as Margaret was a servant to a Drew family in Anglesey  (Beaumaris) in 1860s, but the Drew family had returned to Shropshire by 1871.
Anglesey Margarets' age  (30) is right for her birth in 1839.

Haven't got 1861 census to check where Drews lived.

The only other Margaret Roberts death in Bangor in those two quarters was one in March, age 37.
But whether either of the 30 year olds is yours I don't know!
Hopefully the burials may help?

Drew family had returned to Shropshire by 1871.
Haven't got 1861 census to check where Drews lived.

They are actually Dew, rather than Drew!

Age 30 on the free index on findmypast also.
Have a slight worry that it might say 36

Thanks everyone. I shall have to dig into parish registers, now that I have burial locations, to hopefully find Margaret.

[Quarryman]

Thank you, everyone for your help, I am most grateful. You have made things a lot clearer. After some reflection I realise that I have been guilty of that cardinal family research sin of assuming things that don't stand up under closer examination.
I am now going back to the beginning and starting again.
The one thing I need to know is the profession of Thomas Dew given in the 1861 census, and whether the age of Margaret Thomas, servant, is given as 22 and her birthplace as Llandygai. Can someone help.
Once again, a big thank you to fellow Rootschatters for their invaluable help.

1851 and his marriage confirm that Thomas Dew was a Tanner.

He died in 1867.

I just realised I am repeating information that  has already been posted. Sorry Jon.
