Hi. Need a bit of help in how best to trace the UK origins of the Roberts fam that emigrated to South Africa from Liverpool in 1850 as per the info below. According to Mary's death certificate she passed away in Ladysmith in 1902 at the age of 81. She was born and married in Liverpool. Her oldest son Richard was born in Liverpool in 1843. Her middle name is Catherine on one of her kids marriage certificates. She had two sons born in South Africa, William Henry and John Robert. Her maiden name is unknown and nothing more is known of William other that he was a carpenter/joiner. The South African records have helped immensely tying up some names, dates and places. Going backwards gets tricky, Thank you kindly.
