Could I have checks on Mark Roach b 1826,Bristol.I know he married Sarah Richards in 1846 and at some point moved to Neath,Wales where at least one child,Matilda was born. Possibly moved to Lancashire after 1861 but not certain about this.Also, was he a shoemaker? Thank you, Sharon

That's great Kelly -thank you. Is it possble to find out where Matilda was in 1871 as she is my link in this chain? Also do you think it likely that Elizabeth died? Sharon

1891 census, i think this is him not quite sure though as it says place of birth bolton.

His occupation is a shoe and bootmaker.

Hi Sharon,



I will have a look for matilda, but i would presume that elizabeth may have been a servant or she would have been old enough to marry.



So i will have a check for you, but first the baby calls lol

Hi This is matilda in 71 she is still in wales as a servant.
