Richard Roberts m An Barker 1847
« on: Saturday 15 July 23 17:52 BST (UK) »
I'm researching a Roberts family which commenced in Sheffield, Yorkshire in the 1790s   

Richard Roberts born c.1791 married Hannah Lockett born circa 1793 in 1819 in Sheffield and they had six children.  Hannah died circa 1837.   Moving on.........

Family records say Richard married Ann Barker  on 30 September 1847 in Scott, Illinois, United States.  Also, that  Richard died circa 1874 but just where is unknown.

Grateful for any records for Richard and Ann and anything about Richards' passage to America.

What family records are you referring to?

Where are the children from the marriage - England or America?

Just names, dates etc, passed down the family line.   Perhaps known as folklore and I'm just trying to put the jigsaw pieces together.

Have you checked any of the details before posting?

Names / birthdates of children?
Where are they in 1841/51

Have you checked for a death for Hannah pre/post 1837?

Gerry

George & Thomas should be on the 1841 - have you found them?  Where are they in 1851?
