Northamptonshire / Re: Northampton Pubs - THE BOOT INN, 1830-1870

Hello rthom
I got your email address. In fact my great grandfathers name was William Roddis also known as Topper Roddis coz he wore a top hat. I imagine that the photo would have been taken when he took over the pub. I believe he was born in 1818 and he looks to be about 30 years old in the photo so I am guessing the photo was taken approx 1850.
I was hoping somebody might be able to tell me more about him.
I will send the photo scan to your email address.
Regards RPeter
