That was an easy one!

*Always* search without the surname, when you have pretty good birth date/place details and a known location. Better than trying to guess how the surname might be mistranscribed. Then scan down the list and see what looks like it could possibly be what you're looking for.

Ancestry can do wonders with a surname, but are much less likely to screw up a given name. Or all of the given names in a household, anyway. ;)

I do think that's cute. Boberts was their nickname, of course!

You aren't doing anything stupid, they have obviously been mistranscribed, the trouble is finding out what as! you would think with a name like Roberts it would be hard to do!

Linda, have found Timothy and his wife in the 1901 census. Have fed every member of the family in for the 1881 census and I can't find any of them unless I am doing something stupid. Anyway thanks for looking. Julie

Thanks Linda, I think this could be her family. Louisa Roberts was a witness at the marriage. I cant seem to find the family on the 1881 census which is the one that would be more helpful.
