My great grandfather was Edith Roberts (b.20/8/1867). Her father was John Roberts from Penzance.
James went to Chile to work in a silver mine and married Edith there on 16/9/1897. They lived in Chile for 10 years. James also had a cousin in Chile called Norma.
James and Edith returned to Cornwall and had 4 children, Nora Kathleen (b.16/8/1906), Doreen Elana (b.11/5/1908), Oscar James (b.11/4/1910) and Marion Patricia (b.16/12/1912).
James, Edith and their children all came to Australia. They lived first in Billabong before settling in Wagga Wagga.
