1-2) Obituaries of Edward Roberts, great grandfather of depositor, bootmaker and retailer. Son of Edward Roberts Senior bootmaker and retailer in Connah's Quay. Uncertain if Edward Roberts Jnr. was in partnership with his brother Thomas or whether he too had a shop (at one time all three of them were involved in the trade at the same time). The Captain James Roberts mentioned is the depositor's grandfather; he married Eliza Hughes, the daughter of Captain Joseph Hughes of the Pearl.
3) Obituary of depositor's great aunt Elizabeth ('aunty Betty'), sister of his grandmother Eliza and therefore also daughter of Captain Hughes. Aunt Betty was married to Captain Johnny Mclynn and there is an apocryphal family story that he skippered the last ship out of the Channel Isles just prior to the German invasion.
