As posted earlier Ida's brother Cecil Roberts marries Kathleen Freda Roberts:

Year: 1935
Month: Apr
Day: 6
Grooms_Surname: ROBERTS
Grooms_Forenames: Cecil Albert
Grooms_Age: 27
Groom_Condition: Bachelor
Grooms_Occupation: Collier
Grooms_Residence: The Hawthorns
Grooms_Fathers_Surname: Roberts
Grooms_Fathers_Forenames: Samuel Paul
Grooms_Fathers_Occupation: Miner deceased
Brides_Surname: ROBERTS
Brides_Forenames: Kathleen Freda
Brides_Age: 21
Brides_Condition: Spinster
Brides_Occupation:

Brides_Fathers_Surname: Roberts
Brides_Fathers_Forenames: Richard George
Brides_Fathers_Occupation: Miner
etc

So Kathleen Freda Roberts was born abt 1914.

So Kathleen was already a Roberts, related or coincidence ?
Cannot find her Birth or Burial PRs on this site or GlosBMD. FreeBMD is offline, revisit later...

Searching this site's PRs for her father & witness Richard George Roberts:

Record_ID: 252357
Entry_Number: 20
Year: 1878
Month: May
Day: 19
Parents_Surname: ROBERTS
Child_Forenames: Richard George
Fathers_Forenames: [not stated]
Mothers_Forenames: Maria
Mothers_Surname:
Residence: East Dean Gloucester
Occupation:

Event: Baptism

So Richard's mother is Maria XXX, father perhaps George Roberts = ????

(Richard George b1878 is on an Ancestry members family tree, Cook = may help ?)

Think this is also our Richard George

1911 Census: 7 rooms, Drybrook Near Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire.

Richard G Roberts Head abt 1878 33 Male Married 12yrs Colliery Hewer Ruardean, Gloucestershire
Emily Roberts Wife abt 1878 33 Female Married 12yrs Drybrook, Gloucestershire
Richard G Roberts Son abt 1900 11 Male school Chelsea, Gloucestershire
Pearl E Roberts Daughter abt 1902 9 Female school East Dean, Gloucestershire
Herbert Roberts Son abt 1906 5 Male school East Dean, Gloucestershire

So they married abt 1899, and from FreeBMD:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marriages Sep 1899 (>99%)

Cann Emily Paddington 1a 95

And:

So looks like Richard and Emily married while both still barely 21 at Paddington, at the end of the GWR, did they run away to have their baby ?. No matter as they lived -out their lives together long afterwards and back in Drybrook too !

Their 1901 Census entry (still in London?) might be interesting, eg Occupation ?.
Sorry cannot find on LDS ?

While searching LDS also found this, could it be Richard Sr ?
