According to FreeBMD, there were two Lydia Roberts births registered in Wrexham in 1891. One registered in Sep 1891 and one in Dec 1891. The NW BMD confirms that one was registered in Ruabon sub district and one in Wrexham sub district. The 1901 census has one Lydia age 9, with her parents Lydia & John Roberts ("mine") and one Lydia age 9 in Cefn with her parents Martha & John Roberts. In Sep Q 1912, there is the death of a Lydia Roberts age 21 who is quite possibly one of the above Lydias - probably the one registered in Sep 1891 if the age at death was correct. The only problem is, other than buying the death certificate, how do I figure out which one is "mine" According to censuses Lydia Thomas & John Roberts had the following children all born in Bersham: William Roberts c1876 Alice Roberts c1877 Elizabeth Roberts c1879 Merab Roberts c1881 Harriet Roberts c1885 Daniel Roberts c1887 Ellen Jane Roberts c1889 Lydia Roberts c1891 In 1901 the family were living at 2 Manley Road. Lydia Roberts senior appears to have died in 1916 age 63. Any help much appreciated. Heather

Good Luck Tom These two are harder to identify. A Lydia Hannah ROGERS married a William ROBERTS in 1904 (Wrexham Sep Q 11b 456) but which William Roberts is the million dollar question ;D Are the graves anywhere near each other Tom? That might offer a clue. Lydia Hannah Rogers was the daughter of Edward Rogers from Llanelidan born c1875. Maybe there was an obit or some other way to identify who William was but since they are in the far reaches of my tree I think I will leave that mystery alone for now. ;D Thanks for mentioning them though.

Hi Heather, I agree it may be better left for now but I feel this is the William Roberts c1876 son of Lydia Thomas & John Roberts if only for the exact date of birth and Lydia is not all that common in Coedpoeth--The graves are not really close and I have sent you my own version of a cemetery plan by E mail for you to see for yourself- Tom
