I am trying to find out any information about the Roberts family who had the Quarry Mens Arms in Llanllyfni Caernarvonshire.
Robert Roberts born 1866
Catherine Roberts born 1869
Laura Ann 1889
Mary Elizabeth 1891
I belive Roberts father was a Owen Roberts and his mother a Ann Evans
any information on the family or residence would be appreciated
If by any chance you are related to this family I would love to hear from you as my family history is very complexed.

the cert. will confirm, or not, his father's name.
