Morning all
bob
I've been checking out the first marriage of Elizabeth Traies (nee Michel) today to John Roberts and these are the records I have found for possible children: (LMA records on Ancestry)
Caroline Elizabeth Roberts
born 4 August 1823, bpt 28 September 1823
Weymouth Street, Whipmaker
Henry Stephen Roberts
born 11 March 1826, bpt 2 July 1826
Weymouth Street, Whipmaker
Elizabeth Caroline Roberts
born 29 October 1828, bpt 21 December 1828
East Lane, Whipmaker
This one I don't think is one of theirs
Emma Roberts
born 24 October 1823, bpt 9 October 1825
Hill Street, Walworth, Painter
Also the following I really don't think is one of their children
Maria Hannah roberts
born 28 November 1829, bpt 30 June 1837
North Street, Labourer to John and Ann
I don't think it is one of theirs because in 1837 Elizabeth would have been baptising her second child to Samuel so why go back to the place of her first marriage and give totally different details, presumably Samuel took on the children so why not baptise with baby Emma, come to that why not have had Maria baptised with first son Charles born 1832!
Also different occupation and address.
I think the letter of 1873 referring to Mary Annie could have been referring to her and Samuel's daughter Hannah Caroline, who so far has been registered under the following names
Hannah Caroline - birth certificate
Hannah Louisa - baptism record
Annie Hannah - marriage certificate
Hannah - 1851/61 census
Sorry!
I will now look for a burial for the first child Caroline Elizabeth and I also think he Eliza age 12 with Samuel and Elizabeth on 1841 census must have been Elizabeth Caroline.
