Harriet Louisa BUFFIN nee ROBERTS 1872 -1948 Littledean (General)

by slowhands , proud of his ancient Dean Forest roots, Tuesday, February 26, 2013, 17:44 (4283 days ago) @ Wendy Ellis

I am having no success in finding the birth of my grandmother Harriet Roberts. She was born in Littledean in 1872/73 and the census of 1881 shows that she lived with her mother Sarah Ann Hyde in the household of Charles Stewart whom her mother had married but I can find no trace of the marriage.
Harriet's father is shown on her marriage certificate to my grandfather Richard Cater BUFFIN as being Arthur Roberts deceased. no trace of him either. Can anyone shed any light on this ?
Many thanks

You will need to get the Birth Cert, but my guess is that "Arthur" may not be a ROBERTS, or even an Arthur......
