Secondly, there was a Robert Roberts who was stationmaster
in Corwen. He had two daughters who were at school in Bala with two
cousins of my mother's, one of whom would now be about 90 and the other
84 or 85. The younger one married a policeman and lives or lived at
Llandudoch, near Cardigan. One son ??? Roberts, worked in Dolgellau
Station, but moved from that area when he retired. The other son, ???
Roberts, became a Presbyterian minister, and had a daughter who is also
a Presbyterian minister at Parc near Bala.
Dear Ann:
My late father had a newspaper article from one of the local papers in the
Corwen/Ruthin area that ran a series of articles on those who worked on the
Ruabon-Barmouth railway line from the late 1930's to its closure in the
1960's.
I only have the article that deals with Dolgellau (where my father worked
for a while). There are three Roberts listed as working there:
Signalman - Ruffus Roberts
Relief Signalman - John R. Roberts
Dolgellau goods - Idwal Roberts (lorry driver)
Dated July 31, 1998, the author of the article is listed as:
Eryl Edwards
Perthi
Llanuwchllyn
He was assisted with this article by the following: Eric Williams and Harry
Jones, Llanelltyd; Cassie Jones, Llanfachreth; Beryl Jones, Llanuwchllyn;
and John Roberts, Rhyduchaf.
Hope this helps
