| Description | Within this property Lord Boston owned a quillet (no. .534 on the 1887 Ordnance Map) which was expressly excluded from the sale; these nine papers do not throw any light on the way matters developed, but no doubt they were squared out successfully with the disappearance of the quillet as a separate entity. LLIG/284 and LLIG/289 refer to the very necassary consultation of old maps, especially one drawn by John William Pritchard of Plas-y-brain, son of William Pritchard, Clwchdernog - J.W.P. being one of the most versatile Anglesey men of his day at once, farmer, bard, surveyor and genealogist (see "Pedigrees", p.9).
Note: The discovery of eight collateral papers (LLIG/292-299) show that the quillet problem was not solved in 1906, but in 1909, when it was bought by Mrs Olivia Udall. An excellent plan is supplied in LLIG/299 |
