	If this is correct family in 1901, Joseph is a widow, so his wife died before 1901: 1901 Wales Census Joseph Robert Age in 1901: 47 Estimated birth year: abt 1854 Relation: Head Gender: Male Where born: Ruthin, Denbighshire, Wales Civil Parish: Llanrhydd County/Island: Denbighshire Country: Wales Occupation: Chemist Assitant Registration district: Ruthin Sub-registration district: Ruthin ED, institution, or vessel: 7 Household schedule number: 151 Joseph Robert 47 Mary Robert 26 Joseph M Robert 11 Ernest Robert 10 Henry M Robert 7 Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 5228; Folio: 62; Page: 23.

	There are a choice of deaths for Elizabeth in Ruthin between 1891 and 1901.

Member Since: February 2004 Posts: 50 Send Message	Thank you all. This is a great help. Joseph was a chemist assistant so the 1901 listing seems correct. Also I'm pretty sure of the of the marriage to Hellenor. The 1911 census seems to muddy the waters. Edith Felkin Roberts was born 1880 and Ernest in 1891. Seems like the two have been somehow merged in the census listing. Patricia

	No, FMP have incorrectly transcribed the 1911(putting Henry twice, Ernest as 30 and a daughter and missing Edith). Edith and Ernest are both on the original. It would have helped if you had said that you did not have the 1901 - why did you think Elizabeth died after 1901 if you did not have the family in 1901? Thanks
