With the surname of Roberts this will be a bit hard

Are they your Mum or Dads parents........What you can find out is when the eldest child was born & they will narrow the marriage down a bit

The Ancestry website is off at the moment so I can't look up the deaths for you unfortunately. They are doing maintenance to the site so you'll need help from someone with credits for Findmypast.

If you know the birth date of your mother or father - (whichever one is the child of your nan and grandad) - then their birth certificate will have your nan's maiden name on it.

Jan, have pm'd you a couple of births (could still be living), may confirm Grandmothers maiden name. I too have no Ancestry at the moment so unable to help with deaths.

Netty.

EDIT: Jan confirmed births by pm. Maiden name is ARKWELL.
She is new to the site and finding her way around.
