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

Just looked at the births on the Forest of Dean records

which include

Tom : 1851
Sarah Ann : 1853

GRO

The mother's maiden name is GRIFFITHS

(other names need checking etc)

One Tree gives a link to the 1841 census, at Ruardean

GRIFFITHS

Giles - 40 - Collier, not born in County
Sarah - 45
Mary - 20
James - 15
Ann - 10 christened 19 April 1829, Ruardean
George - 8
Henry - 6
Thomas - 4
Giles - 1

Thankyou for the info I'm thinking the Ann Griffiths looks to be the right one as i already had Thomas & Sarah Ann's Baptisms, but not the mother's maiden name.
If that then means that William Roberts married Ann Griffiths on 6 Dec 1945, i need to re-check my 1851 census for William has i have him listed as single & living with his parents at 89 Joys Green.
Thanks again for the help
