Hi Pkegs,

Roberts school was named after Robert Edward Roberts, he was Mayor of Bootle 1905/6. Born in North Wales 1866 died 1930. He served on the Education committee for 25 years, The school opened in June 1931 in his memory.

Info from "Bootle signposts" . There is a will on ancestry, confirming his date of death as 31st August 1930. He had lived at 44 Merton Road.

Old genealogists never die......they just lose their census.
