MUS/465/5. Notebook used as scrapbook, labelled 'Miss B. [Brigit] Roberts, Laurel Villa, Family Record', containing cuttings concerned with the Roberts family of Llanbadarn Fawr and Llanilar. Brigit Roberts was a sister of Rev. Evan Killin Roberts (1856-1913), of Jesus College, Oxford, who was ordained in 1886, later becoming a minor canon of St. Paul's. The cuttings begin with an account of a presentation to Roberts on his leaving Coldhurst and Frankhill, where he was curate 1886-9 and of the death and funerals of their parents Robert Roberts (d. 1911, age 78) and Mary, the daughter of Evan Killin, the 'king of Llanbadarn Fawr'. Many concern the death and funeral of the canon ('Impressive scenes'). The death of Brigit, who was head teacher at Capel Sion School, is noted and another hand was responsible for entries detailing family news up to 1952.
