If you have a birth certificate, you will probably find that Henry Roberts married Ann Evans.

On the 1891 census Jane Evans is living with the family (mother-in-law)

There is a marriage in 1869 -



Marriages Mar 1869 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JENKINS Sarah Bedwelty 11a 86f
OWENS David Bedwelty 11a 86f
*****ROBERTS Henry Bedwelty 11a 86f


Unfortunately there is a female missing, but I found this -


Marriages Mar 1869 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Evans Ann Bedwelty 11a 866



The marriage certificate will give you Henry's father's name and occupation.

I have just looked at the original of the 1911 census.

Henry Roberts and 'Annie' Roberts have been married for 4 years.

Under the heading 'children born alive during present marriage' it says there have been 12 children born - 7 are still alive and 5 have died.

This has been crossed through.

Henry and Annie have only been married 4 years.

This is obviously a second marriage. Ann has, I think, died between 1901 and 1911.


This is probably the second marriage -

Marriages Dec 1906 (>99%)

HALL Annie Bedwellty 11a 248
Roberts Henry Bedwellty 11a 248

This is the only death I can find, which fits with Ann's age -


Deaths Mar 1902 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roberts Ann 49 Bedwelty 11a 99



You will need to get some certificates to confirm.
