I am trying to establish the parents of William Roberts born abt. 1800. He married Elizabeth Parlor born 1801 Tinker, daughter of John Parlor Stone Mason 14 Aug 1825 Abenhall.

William Roberts is not currently related to me, but having 344 Roberts in my Family Tree, that could change.

Although I have many connections with this William Roberts descendants, my main interest is in his grandaughter Evangeline Amanda Roberts born 23 March 1867, daughter of Henry Roberts (one of William Roberts 9 children) and Ann Hall. Evangeline Amanda Roberts became the second wife of Lewis (Louis) Marfell, the subject of thread http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=thread&id=22925.

Any help would be appreciated.

Note for any early viewers of this thread. This has been amended to remove incorrect information about William Roberts 1800's son William Roberts 1829. This William Roberts 1829 (the correct one) actually married Charlotte Hussey 1829 and they had no children - too many William Roberts.
