Jones=Jones Marriage Settlement
This 1827 settlement was in contemplation of the forthcoming marriage of Hugh
Jones of Efenechtyd and Jane Jones of Dolgyulas (Merionethshire). Several
Denbighshire properties formed part of the settlement, including Tydraw, Fron-Legur and
Rhuallt in the parish of Efenechtyd, Woodland Cottage (Llanfwrog), Nant and
Erwmynydd (Clocaenog), a public house, chapel and 5 cottages in Gyffylliog. Lengthy
document in manuscript on 8 large parchment sheets. We couldn't find a Dolgyulas in
our gazetteer - it may be a corruption of Dolgellau. If it helps to pinpoint Jane,
she was the daughter of Robert (deceased) and Catherine Jones and her sister Catherine was
also a party to the document. Bears the signatures Hugh Jones, Jane Jones, and
others involved. Quite nice condition though the outside of the document (as folded)
has become grubby over the years. (ref 7676) *£30.00 Not for export

An Architectural History of the Parish Church

[Henllan] Sale Particulars of
the Goppa Estate
Printed particulars for the 1876 sale
of the 60-acre Goppa Estate at the Bull Hotel, Denbigh. Included is a
large [approx 17"x22"] multifolding plan. Small holes in the corners of the
document indicate the plan must once have been pinned on a wall. The
document is fragile and there are some edge tears along old folds. The
plan has suffered rather badly and there is much wear and tear particularly
where old folds cross - indeed at those crossings the paper has worn away
completely. Nevertheless it is a rare survival. (ref 7737) Priced
for condition at £12.50 UK post-free
