Title: Tan Yard, Roft Dob,Holywell
Post by: gwen j on Sunday 20 August 23 13:17 BST (UK)

In May 1818,Robert Roberts placed an advertisement to let the The Tan Yard called the Roft Bob near Holywell. I'm trying to find out if this is the same Robert Roberts, Tanner and Farmer, who was by ggg grandfather. I've searched directories without luck.
Thanks in anticipation

Yes, I think you're probably right! I only copied what the advert said. I've since googled Roft Tob and can see your article. Thank you
