John Jabez Roberts

[dhouston]

Hello.
Does anyone have John Jabez Roberts in their family tree?
He was an invalid who resided Wairarapa 1880s and 90s.
He was father of Ellen Winnie, nee Roberts, Henry Pim Roberts and Thomas Earl Roberts.
Thank you.

Nope, not me.

Is there a particular aspect of this family you want some help on, or is it just a general enquiry?

Hi dhouston

According to his death notice, John Jabez ROBERTS was the uncle (and not the father) of Ellen WINNIE, Henry ROBERTS and Thomas Earl ROBERTS.

"Mrs O.H. WINNIE" appears to have been Ellen ROBERTS, who had numerous children with Orlando Hannibal (various spellings of this middle name) WINNIE.

Confirmation that Ellen WINNIE was born in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, comes from the Attestation form on the WW1 Army record of her son, Percy Albert WINNIE.  [Source:   Archives New Zealand website, Archway]

Thomas Earl ROBERTS and Henry ROBERTS (both births registered 1865) and Ellen ROBERTS (1863) appear to be the children of Edward ROBERTS and Mary CAULFIELD - (births registered at Ballarat East, Victoria, Australia. )

As much information re:  ROBERTS and WINNIE families has already been given on the Australia Board, I won't repeat it here.    Will add links to those threads, next post.

Thanks Lu.
John's funeral notice mentions that he was Ellen's father.
He was a miner who resided Simmonds Reef Victoria.
I don't believe Edward was Ellen Roberts father.
Orlando Honeyball was Henry Simpson then Orlando Hannibal Winnie. Names changed all the time then for different reasons.
Thank for the information.
