As a favor to an Australian researcher, I am posting the
following query, which I found interesting as it involves a
genealogical anomaly: a birth at sea.  If anyone has any
suggestions for Ms. Roberts about Bermuda records or
shipping records, please contact her directly at
[log in to unmask]


David Roberts was born around 1828 to David Roberts and
Mary Ann Andrews. He was born at sea, near Bermuda. I don't
know if they may have originally come from Wales. David's
father was a Mariner.  A genealogist in USA a while back
found a David Roberts who died at sea, they said he went
insane on ship.
