| Description | (Parts A and B).
Mr Judd seems to have been a joiner and undertaker in Amlwch at this period, and possessed of a considerable business. E.g., he was responsible for extensive repairing contracts to the property of the Marquis of Anglesey in the Parys district (54, 54A, 80, 81, 105); he did work for the Rooses (two or three important professional men), to Mr. C.B. Dyer of Parys Lodge (for him see Bangor Mss. 585-587), to Mr. William Hughes the druggist who figures in the Ashby Papers, (No. 16), to Capt. Henry Jones of Llysdulas (52), Robert Prichard, the literary farmer of Llwydiarth Esgob (79), to Rev. Morris Williams (Nicander), then rector of Amlwch (101), and to the rector of Llaneilian, whose papers were found at Caera in May, 1930 (Caera Papers, 21-50). He was also called in to repair Bethesda Chapel in 1842-1843 (50, 58), to do work at the National School (53) and to supply fittings for the rooms of the Scientific Society (89, 89A).
Very naturally this little ledger is full of very interesting surnames, being especially eloquent of the Cornishmen who had settled in the neighbourhood in connection with the Parys mine, like the Nicholas Treweek who supplied Judd with most of his timber (B, 6-20). Equally interesting is the record of apprenticeship (A, first page) and the wage accounts (B, 2-5). One of these apprenticies was named James Lemin, member of a family which has done good service to the Wesleyan cause at Amlwch (Hugh Jones: Y Hanes Wesleyaeth Gymreig, III, 1347, 1349).
Mr. Owen Jones of Gwredog figures in the accounts at p.63, paying a bill of £4. 8. 9. for building a schoolroom in 1840-1841, probably the Ty'nlon school referred to in Hanes Meth. Môn, 295. |
