Update

I have been working on Robert Owen Roberts'(7) life history.  It is almost done.  He was Hugh(1) & Margaret's(2) oldest child.  (Insert question here:  according to all of the family group records passed down from generation to generation, the oldest child would have been Edward Roberts, however, if his birth date is accurate, then Margaret would have been 13 years old when he was born!  Possible, but not probable.  In addition I have never found a single primary source of information documenting Edward.  So, If you have any documentation, please, PLEASE let me know.)

Robert Owen(7) was Hugh(1) & Margaret's(2) only child that was deaf.  Which makes one wonder if he was born deaf, or became deaf after he was born.  According to what information I have, there were no other children and only one grandchild that suffered from deafness.

How were the deaf treated in the Victorian Era in England?  How did Robert(7) support his wife and family...Why didn't he move to America when the family came over?  Stay tuned...
