I have just found out today the sad news about yor, she is  the most nicest, caring and understanding person I have ever had the privilege to know. ( I thank you yor.) My thoughts  love and prayers go out to her and all her family.

hi every one, i just started this site to day and wondered if anyone out there can help me to trace my fathers unown family.his mother was born in yorkshire & her name was maud mabella roberts(nee watters). she was born1892 - her mothers name was Mary Ellen. & her fathers John Thomas Watters. Maud married an army chaplain named Leonard Roberts from hereford in 1916 who was killed in france during the 1st world war about 1816/17. she travelled to northumberland in 1917 for a holiday and met a soldier who was a sgt or captain who was based there at that time,named ? lippett and they began a relationship resulting in the birth of my father. Lippett deserted maud during her pregnancy & she remained in northumberland untill my father was born -then retuned to hereford after registering my father in her married surname name of Roberts(1st name(william)"-saying she would return later." she never did as she could not "face the discrace alone" she then later met a man from shrewsbury named ? Wills(maried&seperated from his wife) & set up home with him about 1925 -they had a little girl name (not known) this person could still be alive or have family,so please if u know anything  about this family could u post,me a personal message.many thanks.
