Short Biography
Thomas Webb Roberts was born on 27th April 1880 at Black Rock in Bridgetown, Barbados. He was an only son of Thomas Clarke Roberts by Isabelle Marshall following their marriage in 1869. Of slave lineage, TC Roberts (1840-1927) had a leather goods shop which soon expanded into a furniture store. The family must have belonged to the numerically small Black middle class of his time. This conjecture arises from three facts: (a) Thomas Clarke himself was at one stage a church warden at St. Michaels Cathedral in Bridgetown; (b) they were able to send their son TW to the prestigious elite school of Harrison College where the fees were steep and (c) Isabelle Roberts accompanied her son to England and Europe before his entry into Oxford, though unfortunately receiving a leg injury in Paris which must have turned into septicemia because the wound killed her.
