John Roberts of Woolaston (General)
Not sure if you can help with this one. I am looking for a John Roberts of Woolaston. His son Thomas became an apprentice of the Fishmongers Guild in London in 1622. That is all I know about them. I assume that since Woolaston is on the Severn River that the family had something to do with the fishing industry. I am guessing that John would have been born c. 1580 and Thomas about 1608. Not much to go on, I know.
thanks
