Hi HPH welcome to the forum, nice to have more information.
I was looking at the Roberts later home, no. 5 Bede Street the other day in passing; its construction is quite different from the rest of the terrace it is now in. I think it must have been one of the houses built initially in isolation mentioned in the 1876 account in
this thread
I see Robert G.D. Roberts first initial is missing from the war memorial. It's not unusual; there are a few errors on our memorials. Now I know from the Absent voters list that Hugh was a captain in the 19th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers, but did the other remaining two serve as well? Thomas Owen and John?

Hugh was married to a French lady called Illot or similar,

I wonder if he met his wife in France during the war?
