| Description | Much in demand are the jobs for coal metre at Cemaes, Bangor and Amlwch (1915, 1916, 1946, 1994), of customs house boatman and coast officer at Holyhead, and of tide surveyor at Amlwch (1919, 1922, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1932). Fathers are imprtunate for minor clerkships for their sons (1909,1924), while a certain Caernarvon gentleman aspires to be Barrack Master at Weedon Besk in Northants (1986). From the Rector of Amlwch in May, 1804 comes news of the death at Llandilo of John Price, for many years Chief Agent of the Mona Mine, and a recommendation to his Lordship of John Price the younger, "a young man of most amiable manners and true integrity" (1952). A wounded militiaman seeks the "benefit of Chelsea" (1899), and a poor miner injured "in your bisines at Amlwch", begs for charitable relief (2007). Two very persistent suitors are one Mary Horton Price of Beaumaris, angling on her son's behalf for any and every local Excise post, and the Rev. Hugh Wynne Jones of Treiorwerth, solicitors for his brother's advancement |
