WOW this is amazing guys....lets see if i can give you a bit more....
I have a copy of Richard Roberts birth cert. which was sent for in 1923 to enable him to work. He would have been 14. The story goes that as his father had died and he was the eldest he had to go to the midlands and find work. Apparently riding his bike all the way !!
This is signed by his mother Annie. So we know that his father John had died by now.
I also have a marriage for 1906 with a question mark.....so i would say this was them
Does Alexandra Road run into Kings road
Both 26 ? (on this birth cert)
Ive just rooted out a photograh id forgotten about.....a picture of two of Richard Roberts sisters named Betty ( Blodwyn )(whom which my mother was supposed to be named after, but they named her Gwynneth instead !) and Lillian.
I also have two photographs of John Roberts in his army uniform.....would they be able to identify the regiment from this picture at the archives ??
Also a photo of Annie and her mother !!! Lord only know what her name was. They are both wearing very victorian clothing and sitting in the back garden of what looks like a terrace house.....presumably Alexandra road.
I have no idea what Richards brother was named(the one buried with his father) sorry.
Think thats pretty much all i know.....ill bring these pics with me, also one of Richard as a baby. Dont think i dare bring birth cert as its in pieces. Would laminating it be a good or bad idea ?? bad i would imagine.
Cant wait to get there now and have look for myself.
