My gg grandmother Ann Roberts, b Llanbad(?) ( c1828 to c1869) was Richard's daughter. Her 1856 wedding cert in Llanegryn shows Richard as Cattle dealer.
I have information of a Richard Roberts (b1799) and wife Elizabeth (Hughes?) (b1795) , both from Traws. , living in Bala (Tegid St) in 1871 (and 1861) - Richd shown as wool merchant.
From 1868, I have Richd shown as Cattledealer bequeathing a piece of land in Traws for a school - again he & Eliz are shown b Traws, resident Bala - surely the same couple?
I also have an article linking Richd to a cousin, Richard Jarrett who was a wealthy drover in the 1850s and 60s, based in Corwen.
Potentially I have a lot of info about this Richd Roberts - I would like to confirm this link to the fascinating drover community of the time BUT I need someone to be able to make the connection bewtween Richard and Ann.
If I am barking up the wrong tree, I would be relieved to be redirected - this is driving me bonkers!
