Just thought I’d note down the current tree in the Roberts family of Corwen. Adrian, Gloria, Nigel and Tish (Julia) are Dot’s cousins. Their mother Margery was Dot’s father’s sister. She married Bill, around whom much of Corwen seems to have revolved at one point.

Adrian is married to Clarissa (Pugh), and they had four children:

Alex is married to Becky, and they have three children: Tanwen, Gwenllian and Eli.

Gareth (a former Welsh football international) is married to Nicky, and they have two children: Gracie and Max.

Menna is married to Dan Lewis, and they have three children: Maddison, Olivia and Isobelle.

William is married to Jess (a hospital sister), and they have three children: Frankie, Polly and Billy.

Gloria (who I barely know) was married to Eifion Ellis. They had a daughter, Amanda, who was married to someone called Tees, and they had a son, Liam. Both Amanda and Liam have had serious problems, and are not closely attached to the Roberts family for what sound like very good reasons.

Nigel is married to Rona, who has suffered a major stroke and is restricted in what she can do. They have two children: Bronwen, who is married to Hywel Lloyd and has a daughter, Sophia; and Stephen, who is single.

Tish (Julia) was married to Peter Aldridge, who died. They had a son, Nathan. Her partner is now Glaves (Roberts). Tish was one of our bridesmaids.

On our recent visit to Wales we met Adrian, Clarissa, Alex, Gareth, Rona, Bronwen, Sophia, Hywel, Stephen, Olivia, Isobelle, Tish, Glaves and Nathan.
