| AdminHistory | Gwyllym Lloyd Wardle was the son of Francis Wardle J.P. of Hartsheath, near Mold who married Miss Gwyllym, a descendant of Sir John Gwyllym. His career was full of sensational incidents culminating in his attack on the Duke of York in the House of Commons (1809-1810) and his unsuccessful defence in actions brought against him by the Duke's friends. He married Ellen Elizabeth c. 1792, one of the daughters of the third Love Parry.
Though he had inherited through his wife, considerable property in couth Carnarvonshire, the costs of the unsuccessful actions of 1810 well-nigh exhausted his resources, with the result that on 19 January 1815 he surrendered the estates of Aberdunant and Prenteg to Mr T.P. Jones-Parry.
Mr Wardle had two sons. |
