also, 'about' birth dates are not especially helpful ... is that date from a census?

if so he is likely this one

Births Sep 1887
ROBERTS Moses John Festiniog 11b 388

rather than this one

Births Jun 1888
ROBERTS Moses Ffestiniog 11b 403

someone else does have

Moses Roberts 1888 Festiniog, Merioneth

in their tree, but you need to be sure of which yours is ... the only way, sometimes, is to obtain the marriage certificate for the father's name and match it to the father's name on a birth certificate

of course someone with a Moses Roberts in their tree would know who their Moses was married to, for making a match :-)

what happened to the children when Anne died?


someone here has in their tree

Moses Roberts 1885 Blaenau Festiniog

if he himself thought he was born in 1888, in later life, this is a possible death

Inferred County: Merionethshire
Volume: 8c

but that is just as likely to be the Moses actually born in late 1887


the only Moses Roberts marriage in Festiniog after 1914 was

Marriages Sep 1920
Jones Lilian Roberts Festiniog 11b 827
Roberts Moses Jones Festiniog 11b 827

probably only the marriage certificate would tell you whether it was him

this widowed Moses in the 1939 registry is living with a brother David the same age as the brother David in your Moses' family in 1901 (the David below would have been 11 in the 1901 census) ... but that is probably not uncommon


Pantllin Maav , Hiraethog R.D., Denbighshire, Wales
Moses Roberts 11 Jul 1883 Male Lodger Widowed
David Roberts 13 May 1889 Male Farmer Married
Elizabeth (A) Roberts 31 Mar 1893 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married
Ernest Roberts 13 Sep 1923 Male Cowman Single
Moses Roberts 09 Oct 1934 Male Under School Age Single
John Roberts 04 Feb 1869 Male ??? (it says Pension) Widowed
(but if John was their father, then no)

there actually was no Moses Roberts birth registered for a birth in July 1883, unless the birth was registered late, the next quarter, in which case the one posted above who seems to be yours, Dec quarter 1883, is the only one

actually there is one other 1939 household that could fit, and is geographically better I think

Pant Glas , Llanfairfechan U.D., Caernarvonshire, Wales
Moses Roberts 09 Apr 1883 Male Coal Merchant Own Account Married
Annie Roberts 26 Sep 1891 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married
