I am trying to find information about my grandfather John Egerton Roberts, born ?1899 known to have been the husband of Elsie May Bonigal. Also if any one has any information about my mother's brother, Lionel B. Roberts born Kington, Herefordshire in 1921. At one time, I think he changed his name to Tudor. Are there any relatives of Lionel also trying to find family?

Thank you.

Thank you for this information. It is the right birth info. but it is after that, that I cannot find any other leads to tracing him.

My grandmother, Elsie Bonigal had a cousin by the same name ! I think this is information about her. My grandmother met my grandfather around 1920. I'm not sure whether they actually married. From the on the male Robert's line is a mystery.
