William ROBERTS - Ballarat, Victoria

[Roseamry]

Could some-one be so kind as to do a look-up  please & give me a date of marriage  for one William Roberts & any children if possible.
William was one of the Cornish miners who discovered the "Welcome " nugget and he died in Ballarat in June 1918, but I can find no information about him.

The scant information I have :
Father -  James Roberts b 1804 Constantine, Cornwall, England
Mother -  Elizabeth Oliver b: 1802 in Ruan Minor, Cornwall, England

WILLIAM ROBERTS b 1837 Constantine, Cornwall  immigrated to Australia in 1857  and married Jenefer Trehair/ Trahar.

Thanks in advance

To all that replied to my request thankyou so much.
This is wonderful and I might add that it has also solved a mystery of one Uncle Oliver whom I had no idea of slotting into the family although I knew him as a child.  The Ballarat family is exactly what I was looking for.

Great work  !!!!!

Thanks to all
Ro

Message for Cando - I just found Jenefer Robert's will in line and the children are mentioned  and they tie up !!!!
I do wish these Cornish folk would find some other names - I have encountered
 and proven at least eight " William Roberts" in the immediate family in the span of the last 200 years !!!!!

Thanks for you help

Ro I was actually asking about William ROBERTS death in 1918 as I can't see it, other than the one I listed in Victoria.  I haven't mentioned his children.  Do you know where he was buried?  Have you the death registration?  I only looked for it hoping to find his parents' names.
