[Dalby Family of Bradford] Methodist
Pocket Book containing Family Details
The Methodist Pocket Book for 1816, only a fraction of the original 142pp
remain, probably these were kept by a descendant of the original owner as they contain
details of Dalby births for the 1860s and 1870s. There's also a more recent
Radnorshire connection 'June 28th 1877 Lucy and I came to live with William at Woodville,
Knighton, Radnorshire, Wales.'. In the pocket are a number of family mementoes
including locks of hair 'Father's Hair', 'William's Hair', [another] ' Father's
Hair', 'Joseph Entwisle Dalby's Hair 1868', 'Dearest Father's Hair 1847'. Red

[Clyro/Llanbedr/Llowes document]
Sale Particulars
Printed particulars for the 1871 sale of Penworlodd Farm [Clyro], Noyadd
Gresley [Llanbedr nr Painscastle] and Perem Wen Uchaf [Llowes], occupied or
tenanted by Stephen Davies, W P Tuck and Thomas Morgan respectively. With
the particulars come two large [one at 24"x19", the other at 19"x15"]
multifolding hand-coloured location plans. The front cover (as folded) is
very grubby with age but a soft rubber will cure the worst of this - also there
are a few minor marginal tears along old folds. The location plans are
nice and clean though. (ref 7712) £15.00 UK post-free
[ Clyro (Radnorshire) and Brilley
(Herefordshire)] Sale Particulars for the Cabalva
Estate
Printed particulars for the 1913 sale of this 958 acre estate
straddling the Radnorshire/Herefordshire county boundary. For the purposes
of the sale, the estate was broken up into 10 lots as follows:
1. Cabalva House (vacant) & 49 acres of meadow let to S Meredith and M
Crump.
2. 22 acres of pasture let to J W Jones.
3. Cabalva Cottage (M Crump).
4. Lower Bettws & Cwm-y-Rafor (S Meredith).
5. The 157 acre Chapel Farm (J W Jones).
6. Old Chapel House & Smith (C Nott).
7. The 102 acre Penrheol Farm (J W Jones).
8. The 233 acre Pentwyn & Pencesty Farms (W D Prosser)
9. The 172 acre Wern Farm (T B Prosser).
10. 10 acres of pasture land (G Davies).
A particularly important item of local history as it not only describes the
various lots in quite some detail but it contains 4 photos and a 36"x29"
multicoloured multifolding location plan in a flap inside the back cover.
Card covers, overall size 10"x14". Covers grubby and detached
from contents, and spine torn to the extent that the front and back covers are
almost separated; also the map has gained an extra crease due to careless return
to its pouch. We've recently sold a very nice copy at £40, and by
comparison this copy (ref 446/48) is priced at £20.00 post-free within UK
