What was her father's first name?

If you don't know it, you need her marriage cert to find out.

With a name like Roberts in Wales, you need as much info as possible to enable accurate searches to be made

No doubt, Stephen, you know where Lysfaen is/was, but most of us haven't a clue

Which recognisable town/village name is it near?

EDIT:

I see that it's actually Llysfaen..................

Hi Everyone I am brand new here and a bit of a technophobe, I am trying to search my mother's family who I believe are all from the Denbighshire region, what I know so far is as follows:-

Georgina (Gina) Margaret Owen (Nee Moorehead) born 27.10. 1947 to my Gran Elizabeth Ellen Moorehead 1913 - 1979(Nee Roberts) and Grandad "Bob" Robert Moorehead 1915 - 1992 (worked on the railway). Gran had brothers Huw, William James, Robert, Ted (Went to Canada and not known to have returned?) and George died very young about 15 years old. Great Grandad worked as a Quarry man in Lysfaen, and Great Gran was called Margaret Roberts...

That is as much as I know, if anyone can add or point me in the right direction as to how to go forward please let me know.

Cheers Stephen Owen
