Hi,
My ancestor, Winifred Hannah Roberts was born in 14 June 1884 in Oswestry. On her birth cert, its says her father
was Robert Roberts, a Gentlemans Groom, and mother was Mary Jane Roberts, formerly Criddeford. I have searched Freebmd and am unable to find any marriage information. Can anyone help with this?
Many thanks
Mark

I think that maybe Winifred's mother died?
In 1891 and 1901 census returns, Winifred is with her grandfather and his new wife:
1891, reference RG12, Piece 2062, Folio 86, Page 20
36 Harold Street, Hereford
Criddeford, John Head M 52 Cabinet Maker b Totnes, Devon
Criddeford, Susan Wife F 45 b Montgomeryshire
Roberts, Winifred Granddaughter F 6 b Oswestry
1901, reference RG13, 2481, 79, 11
38 Harold Street, Hereford
Criddeford, John Head M 62 Cabinet Maker b Totnes
Criddeford, Susan Wife F 55 b Llanfair, Montgomeryshire
Roberts, Winnefred Granddaughter F 16 b Oswestry
In 1881, John Creddeford is a widower.

Hi,
thanks for your quick reply. Yes thats is another mystery i am yet to solve! I wonder where her father Robert was aswell. Being a gentlemans groom, would that mean he would travel a lot?
I am unsure if he had died by that stage as well.
I did come across a Mary Jane Criddeford that died in Denbighshire in Jan 1886, but I thought she was
married and should have been a Roberts by then?
thanks again for your help
