Note on Husband: Robert Eric ROBERTS (1) - shared note

Known as "Eric".

Born at 3.45pm., and baptised by the Rev. W. Hinton Jones.(On a Monday).

By the 1891 Census,his parents and their three children had moved just up the road to a larger house, newly built, at 6 New Street. [RG12/2113/6/6]

Wilding's Directory for Shewsbury has Eric at 20 Benyon Street in 1928 and 1931.

In 1936 onwards he is at 4 Victoria Street. It is likely the family moved from 20 Benyon Street to 4 Victoria Street about 1934, after the death of Annie Roberts, Eric's mother. Eric's brother Trevor moved into 20 Benyon Street at this time after his marriage to Myrtle Ellis.

Note on Husband: Robert Eric ROBERTS (2)

Note by Graham Hoadly:

 

Of course I never knew my Grandad, as he died in the May of 1955 just before I was born in the July. My middle name Eric was given for him.

My sisters, however, did know him, and recall an austere somewhat humourless man who when they went up to Shrewsbury for the annual summer holiday used to set them sums to do - and they had to do them!

Note on Husband: Robert Eric ROBERTS (3)

This was an obituary published after his death:

 

"Mr. R.E. Roberts We regret to record the death of Mr. R. E. Roberts, Senior Rental Clerk, after a long illness which he bore with characteristic fortitude. Mr. Roberts was sixty-four and was due for retirement after being at Shrewsbury gas works since 1907. He had been successively Weigh Office Clerk, Meter Reader and Collector, Rentals Clerk and Cashier, and was one of those reliable all-round men so typical of Gas Office training. We shall miss that wealth of experience and kindly philosophy which calmed many a trying moment and helped us ride the storm. His example of conscientious application and promptitude in arriving will be remembered as part of the rules of conduct which he delighted in reciting to us from the old days. We express our deep sympathy to Mrs. Roberts and his married son and daughter.C.G.B."

 

This notice also appeared in a local newspaper:

 

"MR. R. E. ROBERTS The funeral took place at the general cemetery on Friday of Mr. Robert Eric Roberts, 4 Victoria Street, Castlefields, Shrewsbury, who died at home on the previous Monday. Aged 64, Mr. Roberts was on the clerical staff at Stanley House. His hobby was woodwork. A native of Shrewsbury, Mr. Roberts was a member of the Gas Works sports and social club for many years. The funeral was conducted by the Rev. Howell Williams. Chief mourners were: Mr. Eric Roberts (son) [sic], Mr. Trevor Roberts, Mr. William Roberts, and Mr. Archibald Roberts (brothers), Mr. Eric Roberts (nephew). Funeral arrangements were by H. Owen and Son Ltd."

Note on Wife: Evelyn May DEAKIN (1) - shared note

Known as "Eve".

She never really discussed her childhood, and it would seem that her Mother left her to be brought up in Pentre.

Whether those who brought her up were related or not is so far unclear.

Her Mother married in 1901, when Eve was six, but she clearly did not take Eve into her new family.

Eve and Eric were married in the presence of Trevor V. Roberts [Eric's brother] and Joseph Lloyd.

Eve recalled she and Eric cycled to the wedding together.

In the 1901 Census, Evelyn is described as a "visitor" at Lower Hopton, Great Ness, Shropshire - with the family of Joseph Jones (age 46 born Kinnerley) listed as a "Castrator" (Vet).

He is there with his daughter Mary Jane Jones age 10, born Ruyton XI Towns, his two sons Frederick Thomas Jones age 9, born West Felton, and Joseph Ro. Jones age 7, born Great Ness.

Note on Wife: Evelyn May DEAKIN (2)

Note by Graham Hoadly:

 

My Grandma Roberts was a complete contrast to my Hoadly Grandparents, but I loved her too in my way and always looked forward to our family summer holidays at her house in Shrewsbury - number 4 Victoria Street, just down from the Prison!

 

She was a stouter woman than my Grandma Hoadly, and had lovely soft naturally wavy grey hair that I often used to catch her primping in the mirror.

She had a large matronly bust that rested rather low, due, I presume to an absence of the customary support lingerie!

She was also somewhat broad in the beam in those days, and I recall getting a terrible shaking when my sister Marion and I dissolved into muffled hysteria as she, as was her wont, bent down to pick up the teapot from the hearth, providing a somewhat ominous (and amusing to us kids) view!

Marion was older and better able to control her mirth, but I found it practically impossible. Grandma knew we were laughing - probably at her - but she didn't know why. She took me out of the room and gave me a good shaking, but, of course, I couldn't possibly tell her what I was laughing at!

 

I think she was naturally quite a nosy woman, and therefore had a fear of others finding out anything about her. Whenever I used to go down to number 9 Victoria Street, to visit my Great Aunt Myrtle (of whom Grandma was oddly suspicious - perhaps a bit jealous) she invariably would admonish me

 

"Don't go telling them any of our business!" - which always perplexed me as I didn't think I knew any business worthwhile telling!

 

She could be quite strict with us children. If we should say we wanted something she would say:

 

"'I want!' 'I want!' - I want a new carpet but I shan't 'ave it!"

 

She was also rather prudish - if something came onto the television that she considered "unsuitable" she would get up with alacrity, switch off the TV and say:

 

"That's what your Uncle Archie and I call one of THOSE programmes"!

 

Nevertheless she did once say to my sister, Eluned who was going through some marital trouble at the time:

 

"If I had my time again, I would live with a man before I married him!" which was something of a shock to us - but a refreshingly unexpected viewpoint on her part.

 

She used to enjoy a chatty weekly paper called "The Weekly News" and she again surprised me, when laughing, she read out a letter from a woman who had apparently done some preparation of a room, prior to calling in a decorator. She had telephoned the decorator saying "I've stripped and am ready for you to come over"!

Not being famous for her sense of humour, or her

 

She used to make us laugh when she regularly and quite seriously advocated the female family members - particularly my Mother - always to have a hatpin about their person, should they at any time be approached by some sex-crazed man!

 

She loved a bargain, and used invariably, should we be going into Town in Shrewsbury, exhort us to visit the "Cheap-Jacks in the market". My mother could be, if anything, even more snobby than her own Mother ... and regularly ignored the invitation!
