<title>Roberts family of Woolaston (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Debra, welcome to the forum and website. <br />
Have you tried searching the Forum for prior threads that may help you, as often we find &quot;new&quot; questions have already been covered to some extent in the past ?.</p>
<p>Entering &quot;Roberts Woolaston&quot; into the search box at top R/H corner gives several threads which will be worth studying, although be aware that some will only relate to &quot;Roberts&quot; or &quot;Woolaston&quot; and not necessarily both.</p>
<p>Searching &quot;William Roberts Woolaston&quot; gives this thread, hopefully it contains useful information for your particular researches, William &amp; Charlotte are mentioned in the second post down the thread. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.forest-of-dean.net/fodmembers/index.php?mode=thread&amp;id=33827#p33877">http://www.forest-of-dean.net/fodmembers/index.php?mode=thread&amp;id=33827#p33877</a></p>
<p>That said, searching both the forum and the PRs hasn&#039;t been very productive regarding your mention of William, Thomas &amp; Lucy, so ??...</p>
<p>I&#039;m struggling to find the PRs within this FoDFH site&#039;s database, but LDS aka FamilySearch has these records of children to Thomas &amp; Lucy Roberts which I suspect you&#039;ve already seen;</p>

<p>Nearest fit for William I can find in the 1841 Census c/o FamilySearch seems to tie-in nicely with MPG&#039;s 1851 post above;<br />

<title>Roberts family of Woolaston</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi All</p>
<p>I am new to this forum and my reason for joining is my ancestors who came from Woolaston - the Roberts family.  I don&#039;t know much about them at all as have only really started to look in to them properly, but have been researching my other side of the tree for 20 years.  I have William Roberts and Charlotte Roberts nee Powell and their children on my tree, whom my Grandmother Edith Roberts is descended from (descended from William and Charlotte&#039;s son George Roberts b.1833 in Woolaston).  I think William is the son of Thomas and Lucy but unsure.</p>
<p>Would love to hear from anyone with information or others researching this family/surname from the Woolaston area.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Debra<br />
