Roberts/Colwell or Griffiths (General)
Hi I have a William Roberts B) 1829 in Ruardean to William & Elizabeth Roberts. during my research i have found his Wife named Ann Colwell b) 1828 in Rudford to James & Sarah Colwell. However i have also found her to be called Ann Griffiths b) 1828 to James & Sarah. I have found 1 ancestry tree listing her as Ann Griffiths but having her baptised 24/08/1828 in Rudford parents James & Sarah Colwell.??? Anyone shed any light as to why she would be listed under both names??
Thankyou Tracy
