[ben170292]

Hi,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me find any information about John Roberts?
I would be happy with any new information like Siblings, Parents, Death date etc.

This is the information i have already:

-Born about 1844 in Llandrillo, Merionethshire, Wales
-Possibly married Catherine Jones (b.1840)
-Had a son Llewellyn Ronal Roberts (b. 23 May 1878 in Llandrillo) He is my 3rd Great Grandfather.


Thanks for any information, Ben

1871 census has them at Tyn Y Groes,Garthiaen,Corwen

John Roberts 30 shoemaker
Catherine 33 wife
Robert O 9mths son
all born Llandrillo

so maybe he was born earlier than 1844

Hi

Pen(n)ant is a small settlement to the south of Llandrillo itself. The house name was Ty Croes and the settlement was Pen(n)ant.  I've shown roughly were it is on this map:

Translated fron the Welsh - Pen means head and Nant is a  gorge ( often with a stream running through),
