Lilian Mary Roberts

b. 8 April 1873, d. 4 January 1959

Lilian Mary Roberts

A Lifetime Nursing, Roberts the Mariner Family

Person Notes

Lilian Mary Roberts was born at Towyn Hall near Rhyl on 8 April 1873 and lived there until the family moved to Foryd Lodge. Her father was a prominent attorney in the area and her mother was the daughter of a gentleman farmer.

Very close to Towyn Hall was Morfa Hospital, an infectious diseases or isolation hospital which was built during Lilian's childhood. To have a modern, state-of-the-art hospital built within a few hundred metres of your home must have been influential. This was the late Victorian period, a time of huge advances in the sciences, not least of which was medicine. Whether Lilian had any link with that hospital, or if it influenced her choice of career, I don't know, but by 1897 she was a trainee nurse in the Florence Nightingale School at Saint Thomas's Hospital in London. She trained there between June 1897 and April 1901.

Given that Lilian had obtained references in April 1901, my assumption is that she left Saint Thomas's and nursed elsewhere. This was a time before the NHS so the healthcare system was quite different. At some stage between 1901 and 1906 she joined The Nurses Cooperation and took on private nursing placements. We know she had been working in this capacity from a testimonial in August 1906:

August 17th 1906
Pennyhill Park,
Bagshot,
Surrey.
Miss Lilian Roberts (of the Nurse’s Co Operation, New Cavendish Street, London) has nursed me at two different times, and during five months, in a severe illness, and I cannot be thankful and praise her enough for the constant, intelligent care and the untiring kindness she has shown me during the long time she has been with me, and it is with great pleasure that I write to Miss Roberts this testimonial.
Carl Schloesser.
Primrose Hill Studios.
London N.W.

Carl Bernhard Schloesser was a successful German artist who had worked in Paris but had relocated to London. Some of his works now changes hands for four and five figure sums. I'm not certain if Lilian nursed him at Pennyhill Park or at his London address. Pennyhill Park, now a luxury hotel, was a grand house owned at that time by the businessman Louis Floersheim, a fellow German. Maybe Floersheim was a friend or a patron.

Later in 1906 or early 1907, Lilian took a job as nursing sister at the Government Hospital in Suez.

The next time we can place Lilian is in the 1911 census. At this time, she was residing at Beaufort House, Ham, Surrey and is a Sick Nurse. I assume she took a series of these private nursing jobs until the start of the First World War.

From 14 April 1915 to 1 October 1917 she was employed as a Sister in Charge at Clayton House Hospital, Regents Park, Southampton. Many of the casualties from the First World War were routed to Southampton. One of the main military hospitals, Netley, was there, close by. Clayton House was an auxiliary hospital run by the Order of Saint John. Lilian kept a scrapbook album of photos and postcards of her time there. It sounds like she was well liked by the wounded soldiers.

After the war there is a period when I don't know what Lilian was doing. The stories I heard as a child were that she worked as a Nurse on cruise ships and ocean liners. Certainly, there were trinkets and objects from far flung places which I was told she had collected on her travels. Most are scattered among our wider family now. The story, I think, was right because by about 1935 Lilian was working for a wealthy family who travelled a great deal. Amy Swithinbank was married to Harold Swithinbank a vet and distinguished military man who served in both the army and the navy. They lived at Denham Court in Buckinghamshire and had a home in Mayfair also. Amy was widowed in 1928 and Lilian became her nurse and companion sometime after that. I have evidence from passenger lists of trips to Madeira, South America and New Zealand but I'm sure there are other destinations yet to find.

Amy Swithinbank died on 22 March 1942 by which time Lilian was 69. She probably retired after that and returned to North Wales to live with her sister Medi in Prestatyn.

Edward Ferdinand Norman Roberts

b. 18 August 1879, d. 16 August 1900

Norman and other Rhyl Volunteers

A Trip to South Africa, Roberts the Mariner Family

Person Notes¹

Grave at Towyn

Norman, by all accounts, was a likable young man with a promising future. I'm not sure of his early education but he was working as a shop assistant in a household furnishing store in Rhyl when he volunteered to go and fight for his country in South Africa. His role as a volunteer was probably supporting regular soldiers who had more training and experience. Although he found himself in dangerous environments, I don't think he was expected to be in front line combat.

It's unfortunate that he succumbed to illness then. Accounts vary as to what the illness was. Heart disease, dropsy or blood posioning. My suspicion is that it was Sepsis from a small insignificant wound. Whatever it was, the doctor dismissed him as a malingerer and within a day or so he was dead.

Ironically, his short life - and particularly the last year of it - is well documented through his letters and press clippings.²
