ROBERT`S are 
we - well quite a lot of us are and if your name isn`t ROBERTS then be sure 
that if you are included on this family tree you are most 
certainly descended from, or married to someone who has been, or is descended 
from someone of said name 

 

 Edward Roberts 1801 - 1878 Llanyblodwel 
A Farmer and builder of our great family 

 
There is little doubt that the name Roberts is in common use in the 
18th. and 19th. century and in the 1881 British Census there are 46,002 
recorded Roberts`s living in Wales alone. That`s some Roberts to get through 
to find one`s ancestors. Johannes Roberts born 1699 in Llanyblodwel a small 
village on the Shropshire/Welsh borders (Marches)is the furthest we are able 
to go back on the Roberts side as Parish records before this date are 
unavailable 
but the earliest recorded event found so far is the 
birth of Richard Jehu in 1560. The Jehu`s were a family of immigrant Flemish 
Clothworkers who settled in and around Llanfair Caereinion, Montgomeryshire. 
The Jehu`s enter the family tree with the marriage of Margaret Jehu 1787-1856 
to John Jones 1773-1851.


Grandfather WALTER WYNN ROBERTS 1879-1965 was the last of the Roberts`s to 
be born in Llanyblodwel.
 This lovely village plays a very important role in the life 
and times of our ancestors and the Church of St. Michaels has been the venue 
for more than a hundred Baptisms, Weddings, and Burials over more than eight
generations of our Roberts`s and their marriage lines.
