Can anyone help me?
I am looking for Joshua Roberts, supposedly born in Liverpool 17 Mar 1841 to Joshua Roberts and Isabella (Shaw). I have had no luck with GRO births or the 1841 Census (although one possible on the 1851 Census). Family tradition has it that there was a brother and that they were orphaned; Joshua became a boot boy and worked up to butler.
Can anyone suggest any other sources?
I do know Joshua's later history - he worked for the Marquis of Sligo at Westport House, Co. Mayo and met his wife Isabella Wait there. They married and returned to Liverpool where Joshua became a greengrocer in West Derby Street before acquiring a brewery in Cullen, Banffshire. He died there in 1907.
