Tracey Can you narrow it down a bit and I'll have a look for you. ie. how old was she when she married so I can try and work out how old William would be. Which county was she married in? Lyn

Sarah Pratt was married in June 1901, age 24, to john richard roberts, her address of the time, placed her in Edward street, pwllheli, which all ties in, married in denio (think thats pwllheli) in the presence of what looks like susanna jane roberts, and a very unreadable name ? evan evans? that possible could be her mother? have no idea how long william was around for, or indeed they even married, hope that helps a bit, sarah would have been born in 1876/1877, and JR roberts 1876 I think

Jess, sorry have misread, are they all listed as living at Edward street, if so,its very probable as there were only about 4 or 5 houses, if my memory serves me right, heres hoping!!
