I see there are other much earlier Severnside Roberts who may be ancestors, SEVERAL spelt Hyatt etc, but also see this odd spelling variation ?:

SEARCH HINT for you Sandra:

I only found the above unexpected spelling variations while using the "%" wildcard character when typing the surname into the PR search page.

For example, just type "Hy%", this will find ALL the surnames starting "Hy....". Then repeat with "Hi%", then "Co%" for Collins etc. I think this is more reliable than relying on ticking the Soundex box. You can then quickly scan down the list of hits to pick out those most likely, eg Beachley area ones.

Good luck !
