I have a family member John Roberts b 1827 in Hitchin who married an Eliza Roberts b 1833 also from Hitchin. I have Eliza's parents Thomas and Ann but have drawn a blank so far with John's parents.
Can anyone help me with this. Martinp9

Do you have their marriage, which hopefully would give you the name of John's father?

I notice in the 1861 census there is a John and Eliza Roberts living in Ickleford.
1861: RG9; Piece: 820; Folio: 15; Page: 9; (crown copyright, care of the TNA)
Their two eldest children are Arthur Roberts, age 14 and William Roberts, age 12. All the family born in Ickleford, apart from Eliza who was born in Bedfordshire.
Better stop for the moment in case I am following the wrong family.

I said I'd stop. Tell me off if it's all wrong and I'll start all over.
Possible christening ...
John Robarts
21 Jun 1826
baptism/christening place: Hitchin, Hertford, England
father's name: William Robarts
mother's name: Catherine

Thanks olliecat, this looks helpful, for some reason unknown to me I have omitted to look at the 41 census so I'll do so shortly, Thanks again.martinp9
