No problem about the delay - I've been away too, only got back yesterday.
Many thanks for the list of Robert and Laura's children - I'll pass it on to my friend. I'm afraid I misled you - when I said Catherine married James Rowlands, I meant ELizabeth! Sorry. Elizabeth is the ancestor of my friend and it was Elizabeth who married James Rowlands on 29 May 1874 in the Register Office, Blaenau ffestiniog, both aged 23 years. Elizabeth was a domestic servant, living at Plas heulog, Denio, her father was Robert Roberts (dec.) Blacksmith.
