John Roby
John Roby (5 January 1793 – 18 June 1850) was an English banker, poet, and writer.
==Life==
Roby was born in Wigan, England in 1793, the son of Mary Aspull and a schoolmaster named Nehemiah Roby.〔Roby 3–4.〕 He began his career as a banker in Rochdale, Lancashire. In his work ''Lancashire Sketches'', Edwin Waugh recalled that, while Roby was working for the firm of Fenton and Roby in Rochdale, Waugh worked as an apprentice at the bookshop next door.
For the clergy of the district, and for a certain class of politicians, this shop was the chief rendezvous of the place. Roby used to slip in at evening, to have a chat with my employer (Holden ), and a knot of congenial spirits who met him there. In the days when my head was yet but a little way higher than the counter, I remember how I used to listen to his versatile conversations.〔Waugh, Edwin (1869). ''Lancashire Sketches''. London: Simpkin, Marshall, & Co.; Manchester: Alexander Ireland & Co. pp. 47–48.〕
Roby died in a shipwreck in June 1850. Despite clear weather, the S. S. Orion struck rocky bottom at Portpatrick en route from Liverpool to Glasgow.〔''Remains Historical and Literary Connected with the Palatine Counties of Lancaster and Chester'' (1899). Manchester: The Chethem Society. p. 82.〕
