Thomas Roberts, Fron, Llandwrog
« on: Thursday 26 August 10 15:42 BST (UK) »



This photo belonged to my Taid, Robert Owen Jones.  The gent on the right is Thomas Roberts, who was a close friend of his - I have three photo's of them together. 

I think it could have been taken Fron, or close to there.



My Taid on the left, Thomas Roberts again on the right, taken 1930 - 1940 ish

Any help appreciated in identifying exactly who Thomas Roberts was ???

Hi Hiraeth,

Whoops, never even thought to look at the census - must be the wine gums affecting my thinking  ::)

It's a possibility. Now need to find out where Aled House was !!

Thanks,

I have found him in 1891, aged 24, butcher,  living Henllan with John H.Jones, farmer and butcher.

Is there a kind person out there who is able to look in 1911 for the abovementioned Thomas Roberts, butcher, and his wife Anne    ??

I have now found Aled House in 1911 census, but unfortunately Thomas and Anne Roberts were no longer living there.

It was next to Vron Cottage.

I still cannot find Thomas Roberts, butcher !!!

Glenys

In photo 1 can you make out the name on the window panel above the door to the left of the shop. This may tie in with some census  results (next door to Aled House etc)

Also, have you posted them before or maybe they're on a website? They look familiar.

Gwil,

I have tried to make out the name above the door in the house adjacent to the butchers, but cannot.

I have posted this photo on the Nantlle site - think it is on the Penygroes village page, because even though Thomas Roberts lived upper Llandwrog, I thought his shop was in Penygroes - I may  be wrong !!!!!

Update.
Found 1911 -  Caernarvonshire/Llandwrog, District 16, page 274 -
Thos Roberts, 43, butcher, born Henllan, Denbighshire
                     Annie 45, wife born Rhostryfan.
                     name unreadable, daughter, 16, born Rhostryfan. (Not on 1901)
                     Mary Jones, 15, single, servant, born Talysarn.
Address - TEGFAN,  Upper Llandwrog.   This is I am now certain the name above the door in the photo.
The address on the census page before is Bryntwrog Terrace; the page after is Haulfryn.
One problem solved and another one is found....what is their daughter's first name, she wasn't on the 1901!!!!!!!!!!! ???
