Very nice thanks

I presume you haven't found Daniel in 1891 either?

No. I have him in 1901 and 1911 living in Poolsbook, Derbys., but not in 1891.

Found a John Roberts living with wife Phoebe and son John in Rowley Regis 1861, with pob Shrewsbury and the right age. Worth following that one up, I think.

Yes - I saw that one and meant to ask if John was listed as a bachelor at the time of his marriage??

Yes he was.

John's wife Caroline James has a Cox family and a Poole family on the same census sheet in 1951. Coincidence? I don't see a Sophia Cox or a Charles Poole there, but hmmm. Interesting.

This tree on Family Search has the same idea re the 1861 John with wife Pheobe
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:33H4-QZX

If you click on the John Roberts b 1839 in the tree it will take you to other data including a suggested 1851 census which they think is a John Robert age 12 born in St Chadds Shrewsbury living as a newphew with the Walker family in St Mary, Shrewsbury

I think this John is the son of a Sarah Roberts who is age 30 in 1841 living in St Chadds with children including son John age 1.  In 1851 Sarah Roberts is listed as 40 unmarried and a dressmaker with daughter still living in St Chadds

I think that tree is my original incomplete one from back when I first started, when I copied stuff off Ancestry trees that seemed sensible. :/ Young John is my #16, and the only other person who has him as #16 is my brother, who doesn't do any family history research.

Basically I scrapped my original tree on Ancestry and started again from scratch but doing actual research this time! So take this tree with a huge pinch of salt.

Of course there might well be some good info there which is worth looking into.

 Well at least you know who produced it
