Apparently there is a newspaper article about a 10 year old Edith Roberts
Born 1907
She was in a case of abuse and neglect by step mother 1917
If this was in Liverpool or her birth is recorded as in the region
I feel she could be the same child who was handed over in the same scandal case in 1907 ....Australian paper reported mother in tears in court and
At time landlady observed genuine sadness grief at giving up baby
The years don't tally for age of mother lottie but stories are so similar
And there is a lottie actress who could fill intervening years ....down as Pearcy on 190@ census
Well found genes geniuses .......
Would very much like to find proof that 20 year old Charlotte roberts had lied about her age to impress younger lover
Would have thought if leo could take on a pregnant gf not his babe .
Plead for leniency for her in court and ask for all blame he.d have accepted 7 year age gap
Also if trial inliverpool it was near enough to Birkenhead our Charlotte.s birthpace for her to be identified
Court transcript from Brisbane news of day manage to give her true nana not her Ali's
What was her stage name in So. 1907
Does this tally with any o aliases firf Lottie and ..Henry the actors early 1900',
These details from news which are facts which embellished for news
If it is same lady and this was edited fate what happens to the other babies
Orig post re ggmother 1881
On ancestry board ...sorry can't cut and paste
We have orig cert for Charlotte now so hope 1939 will tie it all up
Ps the fact that John.Roverts c.s father did not disinherit her may indicate that he was not angry with her or assumed of having felon as prisoner
Sorry for typing
The drama continue
There are also kinks to Brigid's rootschat post ccsllid. Disappearing nana with links to some of these news clippings including Welsh one with mug shits oypf Leo and Charlotte hope they got back together after prison it's a love story .B
