| Description | The family associations of Hugh Ellis help to devise an arrangement for these papers, for it happens that they fall roughly into three groups.
The first and the earliest relates to the Eifionydd properties from 1776 to 1812 and among such papers are leases, marriage settlements, etc. occur the very interesting papers - faculties, prohibitions, briefs, letters etc. - of a Great Session action in the matter of a sitting place in Llangybi church.
The second group, PYA/19642-19690, relates to the Llandwrog portion of the estate from 1812 to 1830 and is very miscellaneous in character.
The third group seesm to have a direct relation with Hugh Ellis himself, with his wife and with his brother, Rev. John Ellis, Llanystumdwy. These are equally miscellaneous, consisting of papers touching upon properties in Caernarvon and elsewhere, interest accounts and tithe matters. |
