Alison Report 10 Oct 2012 02:49

I am seeking any information I can get re my great-great-grandparents John Owen(s) and Prudence Roberts.
John was born in Llanasa Flintshire Wales in abt.1783.
Prudence in abt 1784
I understand that they had 6 children the last of whom was my great-grandfather,David in 1852.
David arrived in Australia in 1869 and I have heaps of family info from then on.It is getting info re John's parents ,grandparents etc. that I'm hitting a brick wall with!
Thanks in advance,
Alison./.
