Good Evening Stuart

James Roberts d 1873 is my 3 x GGrandfather his daughter Emma Maria Roberts married my 2 x GGrandfather Peter Jenkins at Monmouth Independent chapel on 17th Feb 1858. Both families employed as stone cutters/quarry owners.

James Roberts married Deborah Buffrey at Newland on 9th March 1835.

The father of James, Thomas Roberts did marry the sister of his first wife Hannah Tomlin. His second wife being Ellen Elizabeth Tomlin(s) I have no evidence that Hannah died in child birth.

James started his own quarry in 1836 shortly after he married Deborah Buffrey.

Monmouth Independent chapel is now a private home. I am advised the chapel is built using stone quarried from the St, Briavels area.

I have not confirmed the link to Thomas Robets and Mary Yearsley but would be interested in sharing any information.

Kind Regards

Tony Jenkins
